2025-26

Week Beginning 18.5.26

This week, we have been working extremely hard on our letter formation while writing captions.  The children are becoming experts at 'swishy' letters (c, o, a, g, d, s) and are starting in the correct place more independently.  We have been practising writing 'b', as this is one of the most common letters children can reverse.  The children have been determined to remember how to form this, with a very cheeky reminder!  See if they can have a go at home and teach you!

We are continuing to focus on number bonds to 10.  If there are any bonds your child particularly needs to rehearse, these have been written in their blue books.  There is also a game to support the knowledge of bonds, which can be found here:

What is subitising and WHY is it so important in young children's maths?
