This week we have focused on Postman Pat. It promotes positive social and emotional development through its gentle storytelling, role models, and focus on community. The show teaches valuable lessons about helpfulness, friendship, and teamwork in a charming, small-village setting that encourages children to be kind and respectful to others.

Maths
Composition of numbers is a key area of mathematics, and children need considerable and varied practice over time, based on meaningful experiences, to build their understanding of this concept.
This week, the children have begun to explore composition by focusing on the preliminary skills: the concept of ‘wholes’ and ‘parts’. By investigating their own bodies and familiar toys they will begin to understand that whole things are often made up of smaller parts and that a whole is, therefore, bigger than its parts.
Key language in this area can be tricky; clarity around a ‘whole’ and how it is different from a ‘hole’ needs to be made explicit. You can use gesture to support this. Further confusion can arise from other composition language, e.g. when do we mean ‘a part’ and how is this different from ‘apart’? Use this week’s stem sentences to help consolidate understanding.
