We will explore a number of different books to support the children's learning. Such as The very Hungry caterpillar, Here we are, Oi! Get off my Train, The Queen's Knickers and A Walk in London.

Within literacy the children will be exploring different texts and books to begin to know the difference between different types of texts (fiction, nonfiction, poetry)

We will be beginning to make inferences to answer a question beginning 'Why do you think…?' in a picture book that has been read to them, where answer is clearly signposted. Within writing children will be continuing to build on knowledge of letter sounds to build words in writing. We will be encouraging lots of writing in play and encouraging them to use familiar words in their writing. Children will be beginning to write a simple sentence/caption may include a full stop.

In numeracy we are Building numbers beyond 10, Counting Patterns Beyond 10 and Spatial Reasoning.
