English
This half term we will be listening to and joining in with lots of poems and songs to help us identify rhyming words. We will be learning to speak and write in simple sentences, checking they make sense before moving on to using 'and' to join our ideas. In our writing, we will learn to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Please help your child at home by talking about the different punctuation marks they come across in their book when reading with you.
