Term 1 Week 4

Here is an overview of our learning activities for the week commencing 28th September 2026.
In Phonics, we will be learning to read and write words containing the ‘ie’ digraph (such as pie, tie and fried). We will also be reading the words ‘oh’ and ‘their’ and writing the words ‘come’ and ‘some’.
This week in our English work, we are going to focus on the book ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson, and we will be thinking of adjectives to describe the Gruffalo and the forest scene.
In Maths, we will be learning about the maths vocabulary less than (<), more than (>) and equal to (=) and comparing groups of objects and numbers.
In Science, we will be learning more about the properties of everyday materials.
In Art, we will be continuing to draw and paint self-portraits.
