Phase 5 alternative sounds
This sound mat shows the Phase 5 alternative spellings that children are learning in phonics during the spring term.
In Phase 5, children learn that the same sound can be written in different ways (for example, ai, ay and a-e).




We created a repeating pattern in the style of Orla Kiely's designs.
We used foam to cut out shapes and used bold colours to print our designs.

We have been looking at every day objects and identifying the material they are made of.
We then used this new knowledge to investigate whether some materials were waterproof or not.
Take a look at us in action, and our results...


In maths we have been looking at numbers to 20. We have worked with numbers a lot and this week we have tried to organise them on a completely blank numberline using number facts we already know.






We used 2D shapes to paint and sprint pictures od boats, as you would see at the creek.
Rosie walked;
Across the yard
Around the pond
Over the haystack
Past the mill
Through the fence
Under the beehives
and got back in time for dinner.
