In Reception this week we will continue focusing on the story 'Aaaarrgghh, Spider!' by Lydia Monks.
In Literacy, the children will have the opportunity to learn some new and interesting facts about spiders. They will then write about what they have learnt applying their phonics knowledge.
In Maths, we will be recapping addition. The children will have the chance to complete simple addition number sentences and write their own number sentences. We will also ensure they are familiar with a number line and understand how to "jump" forward on the number line when adding 2 numbers together.
In Phonics, we will be learning the new digraphs 'ur' and 'er', and then introducing the new trigraph 'igh' to the children. A trigraph is when a group of three letter represent one sound.
In topic, the children will get the chance to be creative and will make their very own spider webs by threading with a safety needle.
