Today we used bingo daubers to make dots on our letter d’s. They look beautiful. We all worked hard to try doing the dots in the direction that we make the letter d. We also had fun making our new words in the rice trays. We hope you get to see this in action when you come to the open evening tomorrow.
We really enjoy singing with Miss Hamilton every Monday. We have been learning to use sticks to keep a steady beat. And have been trying to make our letters with the sticks in different songs. We have also been learning to join in with lots of different songs and actions.
We were star class at assembly this week. We had been listening very carefully to Miss Mackay. Please go to Miss Mackay’s blog to see us with our trophy.
This week the top table were the yellow table again! They got 96 cubes. Here they are with their certificates.

Reading will be on Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure reading records are sent to school every day.
Please write a short note in the reading record informing me how your child got on with this weeks tasks and reading. Thank you.
We wrote stories about Itchy Bear this week. We all tried to finish a sentence or write our own sentence. Our target was to add lots of detail to our pictures. We all peer marked our writing and voted for the star writers. We made very good decisions when voting! You will be able to see all of our stories when you come to open day next week.
Here are our star writers.
This week we have been watching videos to help us recognise different things that start with our focus sounds. The children can access them by clicking the links below.
The links will take them to YouTube so, as with all Internet homework, please monitor them closely.
Are you ready for ‘R’? – I warn you that this song is VERY catchy! 🙂 Click here to watch it.
Mighty ‘M’ – please click here to watch it.
After watching the videos you could try chatting about all the different things on the video that start with that letter. You could go on a hunt around your house to find more! Please write a note in the reading record if you and your child enjoyed/accessed these videos.
We have been learning to play new maths games. We really like the Lego building game and it has helped us get better at using words like add and take away. We are also learning to take turns and follow rules with less adult support. We look forward to playing our new games with you at the open night next week!
We we have been making the number stories for numbers up to 6. We are learning how we can combine different numbers to make the number stories. Today we made ladybirds to show different ways of making 6 – hopefully you will be able to see them at the open day next week.
This week the top table was the red table! They got lots of cubes by getting their targets for writing jobs and for getting ready quickly and quietly. Here they are with their certificates.
