Well done to Oma, our latest pupil of the week. She has been a fantastic listener and always follows instructions in the classroom.

This week we will be learning the sounds c/k and e. We will be thinking of things which start with these initial sounds and finding out how to form the letters.

Can you think of any things at home which start with these letters? You could draw some pictures or cut out and stick any pictures starting with c, k or e.

Maths

We will continue this week with some counting activities as well as stories relating to the numbers and recognising arrays of dots.

We will also talk some more about measurement – capacity, weight and length. We will be comparing and sorting things into the correct order and focusing on the language related to measurement.

Topic

This week we are going to look at some of the changes that take place in Autumn. We now have an Autumn trees display in our classroom. We are going to find out about owls and nocturnal animals related to our story The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark.

This week we have our Parents Night Google Meet on Thursday 24th from 4.00 – 4.30pm.

School is closed for the September weekend on Friday 25th September and Monday 28th September.

Now we have completed the first 6 letter sounds – s, a, t, i, p and n. This week in school we will revise these sounds and do some activities to consolidate them. Matching pictures to their initial sound, forming the letter sounds and thinking of things which start with the letter sounds. We can now also start to form words using these letter sounds – sat, pin, at, in, sip, tin etc.

You could try to make some of these words together at home using the individual letter sounds. This is the start of blending where we say the sounds together to read the word.

Maths

We will continue this week with some counting activities as well as stories relating to the numbers and recognising numbers of dots in a pattern without counting, such as on dice.

We will also talk some more about measurement – capacity, weight and length. We will be comparing and sorting things into the correct order and focusing on the language related to measurement.

Topic

We have moved on from our nurture topic to thinking about the wider world. Part of this topic involves learning about the season of Autumn and the changes that happen in the environment. We are reading the book The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark and will be doing some activities related to this and to Autumn.

Well done to Skye, our third pupil of the week. She has been enjoying class learning and is motivated to complete tasks.

Each week we will introduce 2 letter sounds and do some activities such as writing the letter with coloured pencils and paint pens, thinking of things that start with the letter, recognising the letter sound and listening for the sound at the start of words.

This week our letter sounds are p and n.

See if you can think of any words at home which start with our letter sounds for the week.

Maths

We are continuing with some counting activities going forwards and backwards.

This week we are also going to be talking some more about measurement – capacity, and short and tall. We will be comparing and sorting things into the correct order.

Well done to Lilly, our second pupil of the week. She has been trying her best in class activities and has been a successful learner.
