  LO: Order numbers within 20 23.01.26 Today in maths, the children were ordering numbers within 20. The children were looking at whether the number had any tens or how many more ones it had compared to the other numbers. Stem sentence: The greatest number is _. The smallest number is _.

  Story focus : Owl Babies by Martin Waddell Literacy focus : we have daily Phonics and handwriting sessions.  We have individual reading sessions, practising our blue Phonics book or reading books. Some of us have started writing captions, 'holding' the phrase and then writing it with fnger spaces - quite tricky! Please see previous post about writing.  Maths focus:  ordinality. We have been noticing a 'staircase pattern' when the Numberblocks are in order and spotting when one of them is hiding. We are learning to use the stem sentence '1 more than ____ is ___'.  PE Focus:  gymnastics skills (balancing, climbing and jumping safely) using apparatus.  Science focus : seasons. We remembered the changes that happened in Autumn and went ouside to look for the changes that are happening now it is Winter.  PSED focus : Zones of Regulation.

Those of us who have got a good pencil grip and the beginnings of letter formation are spelling and writing with a pencil. Some of us are using the moveable alphabet whilst these skills develop. Children love paper and pencils - if you haven't already, get some pads of paper and pencils! handwriting practise a caption spelling using the moveable alphabet captions writing /th/ words ...
