Emergency Services

This week we have been learning about emergency services and the different services that are involved.
In Literacy we have been focusing on letter formation and have been practicing tracing letters and forming our own sounds. In phonics we have been practicing segmenting sounds and using a phoneme frame to write CVC words. We are learning to identify the beginning, middle and end sound by talking like a robot and adding the letters to the phoneme frame. We have been learning the concept of a word and that words are made up of sounds. When we have been reading we have been counting words by jumping over the white spaces.

This week we have been learning to split amounts into two groups. We have been doing this alongside our emergency services topic. We have been learning to show a number in different ways by playing a bunny ears game. We put our hands on our head and used our fingers to show an amount in different ways. We have been learning to explain what we said, for example “four and one make five, three and two make five.” Our goal is to make numbers without counting in ones on our fingers.
