We hope you all had a lovely Easter break with lots of chocolate and time to rest. This term we hope to enjoy some warmer and dryer weather at Frogmore on Fridays. We have a full term planned with a focus on growing and a new Talk for Writing story.

Summer Term 5 2023 

Our next Talk For Writing focus will be the story Dear Zoo. Many of the children know the story well already and we will learn the story with lots of actions and opportunities for drama.

Literacy

We will be reading lots of other stories, poems and Nursery Rhymes this term as well as our Talk for Writing story. We will explore the changing seasons and cover celebrations such as the King's coronation.

Phonics

We will be learning to:

• Tune into sounds all around us
• Explore making different sounds
• Hear initial sounds in our names and other words
• Start to blend and segment the sounds in short words

Maths

We will be learning to:

• Sing lots of number rhymes using our fingers - for example, 5 cheeky monkeys swinging in the trees, 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, 10 in the bed, 5 little ducks go swimming one day, 1,2,3,4,5 Once I caught a fish alive.
• Count forwards to 5 using our fingers
• Subitise to 5 using dice and objects (this is when a child can recognise an amount of spots or objects without counting
