Our stories in English this half term are The Jolly Postman and Stickman. Our main focus this half term is basic skills. We want the children sounding out words accurately, using finger spaces, capital letters and full stops.

In maths we will be looking at place value within 10 which includes counting, counting from a larger group, spelling the numbers correctly and matching the words to digits, counting forwards, counting backwards, finding one more, finding one less, comparing groups by using the vocab more, less, most, least, equal to and using the < > and = symbols and ordering numbers.
