We will explore money and the value of it, how to 'shop' with money and how to make different amounts from coins. 

Using a clock we will be able to tell the time using our daily routine to help our understanding, we will sequence different daily events and talk about them using language such as next or now later, tomorrow and today. 

We are Scientists 

We will be leaning about different materials, how they work and feel and what we can use them for.

Look at the targets

we have achieved!  

Phonics in Bluebells

At Glade Hill we teach phonics using the ‘Little Wandle’ (previously ‘Letters and Sounds’) systematic synthetic phonics scheme. This systematic approach teaches our children to use synthetic phonics as a strategy to support them in becoming fluent readers and confident writers. This rigorous approach is adopted throughout school to ensure consistency and progression, including in our Nurture groups.

Children in Bluebells are taught daily discrete phonics lessons and are encouraged to apply their knowledge. For some children this is part of a small group and for others is 1:1. The children also receive precision teaching of tricky words. For some children, their reading books are supplemented with the use of Makaton signs and symbols. This is a specialist approach advised by outside agencies including Speech and Language Therapists and the Nottingham City Learning Support Team.
