Squirrels Class weekly theme Superheroes - Super Me! This week we continue our theme of superheroes, but this week we will be thinking about ourselves and how amazing we are! We will share some of our 'super powers' - maybe football skills, amazing drawing, being able to ride a bike independently. We will also be thinking about what we can tell our new teacher for Year 1 about ourselves, what are we good at, what do we love and what might help us as we move into Year 1.

Owls Class weekly theme Superheroes - Super Me! |
Our Learning this week includes:
Literacy - Our current writing unit is to explore a hero and villain story. We will be writing for purpose linked to themes in the book. This week we focus on:
- Imagining ourselves as super heroes, what powers could we have? Children need to segment each sound in the words to describe their superhero.
- In this session we are re-reading our work to see if it makes sense - have we formed the letters correctly? Have we remembered to include each sound so we can read the word?
Maths - This week we will focus on developing the children’s understanding of mathematical relationships within numbers to 10. We will be revisiting these key skills:
- making a whole number from 2 parts
- splitting some numbers into 2 groups that each have an equal amount
- recognising that 2 equal groups can make a double, e.g. double 3 is 6 altogether
- understanding that double patterns are even; they have ‘flat tops’ because they are made of 2 equal groups
- understanding that odd numbers cannot be split into 2 equal groups; they’re not doubles, they have an ‘odd block’/’odd one out’
Shared Reading is on Tuesday 16th June at 8:30am - we look forward to seeing you there :)
Forest School is on Wednesday 17th June - please send your child in with appropriate clothing, including a sun hat.
Dress Down day is on Friday 19th June - children to wear own clothes in exchange for brining a bottle for the FOSG school fair.

Last week's poem was:
Under a Stone
Under a stone where the earth was firm,
I found a wiggly, wriggly worm.
“Good morning,” I said.
“How are you today?”
But the wiggly worm just wriggled away.
What the children say...
In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.
Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week.
Our PE days for both classes are:
- Tuesday
- Thursday
RE learning
In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children.
