Week 3

For Literacy we are focusing on learning our alphabet letters. We have been creating them out of playdough, matching capital letters with lower case letters and have been learning how to form the letters correctly.

We were given another special book to read focusing on the golden words- 'the' again and the word 'is'.

In Maths we are learning to count forwards and backwards to 20 and identify the numbers. We are learning to subitise-instantly recognise how many items are in a small group. We have been looking at dot patterns (dice patterns 1-6). We are also learning our shapes- triangle, square, rectangle and square. We are learning to recognise how many sides and corners they have as well as sort shapes into groups. We have been creating shapes out of playdough, creating pictures using shapes, tracing around shapes and playing shape bingo!

We have been pegging the right number of pegs onto number cards, playing 'race to the end'- instantly recognizing dice patterns as well as many other activities!
