Our topic for Spring Term 1 is
'Wheels, Wings and Travelling Things'
During this half-term, we will be sharing stories about sledges, rockets, cars, boats and aeroplanes and will be thinking about whether they travel on land, sea or in the air.
During this first week back, we will be giving the children opportunities to talk about their Christmas holidays and tell us what they had for Christmas.
(I'm sure they will be bursting with news!)

Phonics
During phonics this week, our focus sound is 'd'
We will be thinking about what begins with 'd' - dog, duck, doll, dinosaur etc
The children will learn to read and write the letter 'd' and will continue to practise blending sounds in words. When they are handwriting this letter, they will use the phrase 'Round his bottom, up his tall neck, down to his feet.'
