Here is an idea of our current daily lessons:

In English we are going to be looking at handwriting and correct formation of our letters and numbers.
We will be looking at poems throughout the next 3 weeks and learning some to recite. We will also be looking at non-fiction texts and comparing them to fiction.
We will be working on our Phonic Knowledge this term also- here is a link to the correct pronunciation of sounds that we use- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCI2mu7URBc
