Welcome to Caterpillar Class!

We are learning...

Phonics 

We are looking at words with adjacent consonants. 'spring' 'toast' etc 

We break longer words into 2 or more chunks. We will work out the first chunk, then the second chunk and then put both chunks together. (p-i-c "pic", n-i-c "nic", "picnic")

We have looked at some suffixes - a letter or group of letters that go at the end of a word. To these words, we cover the suffix, read the word and then add the suffix.  

-ing

-er

-es

-s

-est

- ed

With the -ed suffix, we have learnt that it can make 3 sounds: 't', 'id' and 'd'. 

Maths 

We have been counting out 'teen' amounts accurately. We have been looking at how 'teen' numbers are made up of 10 and some more. 

We are continuing to work on our number formation - 3,7 and 9 are still tricky as we tend to reverse them! 

We are looking at remembering the pairs of numbers that make 10. Number blocks have a great song that we have listened to! We also love the number bus song. 

We are learning about odd and even numbers and sharing things out fairly!
