Writing: I can include high frequency words in my sentences

Cody, your writing is improving day by day! I really liked how you used the word mat to find the word "is" to make your sentence "Spooky Spoon is upside down". Let's continue to use small connecting words like "the", "is" and "and" in each of your sentences at writing time. Well done buddy! :) 

Adding to 5 and 10

Maths: I can recall addition facts

Cody is working on learning addition facts to 10. Each maths session, we practice this in different ways so that eventually Cody will be able to recall all the different number bonds, off by heart. Here he is using counters to find the answer to this equation.

Letters and Sounds

Reading - identify some sounds in sequence to decode unfamiliar words 

Wow Cody, you can say the letter sounds in all of these different "s" words! You were able to sound out and spell "snake" all by yourself, with an adult helping with the other words. Well done, super speller! In circle time, we will help you to sound out letters to read new words in our big books so that you can read them by yourself. Great work Cody!

Let's add!

Maths: I can recall addition facts to 10

Cody is great at using the Numicon shapes to work out all the different ways to make 10 (combining 2 numbers). Today, we looked at recording them in number sentences. Really good work Cody! We will work on Cody's ability to recall these addition facts from memory in group games like Full Circle.

Ooooh, that dinosaur is scary!!!

Literacy (speaking): I am learning to expand my sentences.

Cody is retelling a story he wrote about a dinosaur. It is great to see him trying to create longer (compound sentences) using "and". He is also working on including prepositions like "on" and "over", which we will focus on next. Good try Cody and what a scary dinosaur you are- eek!!!
