We’ll continue to enjoy the story of ” The Very Hungry Caterpillar” this week. The children will be re telling the story with their friends.
Sound of the week:
J for jellyfish
We will also be exploring rhyming words. The children will be identifying the “odd one out” by listening carefully to sets of words and spotting which ones rhyme.
You can try this at home too. Say the words aloud a few times, emphasising the rhyming sounds, and encourage your child to listen for the rhyme.
five dive fish
Nursery rhyme of the week:
12345, Once I caught a fish alive
Maths
In Maths, we will be exploring what happens when we have ‘one more’ or ‘one less’. For example:
“There are 4 caterpillars on a leaf. 1 caterpillar crawls away. How many are left? How do you know?”
Help at home
You can try this at home using everyday objects. For example, with toy cars:
“There are 3 cars on the road. 1 more drives up. How many are there now?”
Encourage your child to explain how they worked out the answer.
We will also be watching our caterpillars very closely and hunting for more ” minibeasts ” outside.
Check back later this week to find out how we got on.
