Good morning!
We have had another busy week making whales (for wh), 2D shape pictures and birthday messages for the Queen. The children have become really creative and make things completely on their own now. The never fail to amaze me.
We have started to learn all about People Who Help Us and are focusing on the emergency services. The children love Art Hub on you Tube and selected a Police Officer art lesson. The results were fantastic.
We have been continuing with addition and subtraction and the children select their own strategies to help. Their favourite things are jewels and boards, bead strings, cubes and pegs.
Next week is a shorter week. Remember we are off on Monday and Thursday as this is an in-service day for teachers.
Literacy – we will continue to consolidate ch, sh, th, wh and some initial sounds. We will continue to develop our storywriting skills and will explore words that rhyme.
Numeracy – We will continue with addition and subtraction and will consolidate 3D shape.
Topic – investigating the roles of the emergency services and the equipment they need.
Our Gym time will now return to a Monday for the rest of the term and we will be taking part in gymnastics using a range of large and small equipment.
The weather has been good, and although the temperature is slightly down at 15 degrees, our children are definitely feeling it more like 20 degrees! They very quickly take off jackets and jumpers in the playground then forget to bring them back in. Most jumpers are easily returned as names are on them. Please remember to put names on jumpers and cardigans to ensure your child gets theirs back
Finally, I am looking forward to taking to you on parents night so don’t forget to make your appointment.
Have a fantastic long weekend.
