We will be reading Meerkat Mail 🐾📖. The children will learn to retell the story orally using the past tense and will begin to use a wider range of story language, including connectives such as after that and eventually.

They will then write their own version of the story by changing the setting, using their imagination and applying their writing skills 📝✨

Reading continues to be a very important part of our learning. Your child will bring a reading book home on a Wednesday, which should be returned the following Monday.

It is important that children read regularly at home and that you talk to them about what they have read to support their understanding. Please remember to sign their reading record, as this helps children to earn rewards in class ⭐

We will be developing our understanding of number within 100, including:

• Making doubles
• Making equal groups (grouping and sharing)
• Recognising and finding a half and a quarter
• Partitioning numbers within 100
• Comparing and ordering numbers within 100
• Finding one more and one less

The children will take part in practical activities and games to support their understanding and build confidence 🎲
