April 2021

I have had such a wonderful first week back with all the children. I have missed them lots but now looking forward to lots of learning together.

This week we have been learning about pictograms. Each child answered the daily question by drawing their answer and adding it to the graph.  We discussed which answer was most and least popular and were able to create questions to ask friends.

This week in Numeracy we have also been working on number bonds, subtraction and numbers to 20.

In Literacy, the children have been showing off their fabulous phonics knowledge. They have been able to sound out words when writing, blending to read new and unfamiliar words and reading with increased fluency. It’s wonderful to hear them give everything a go. Here are some lovely photos that the children have taken themselves.

We have also been learning to cross the road safely. We have learned a lovely song that hopefully your child will be able to sing for you. Have a look at our writing about Road Safety.  The children had a checklist to refer to while working. I’m sure you’ll agree these are amazing pieces of work 🌟🌟🌟

We also stared a road painting this week, look out for our finished art work coming soon!

As always there is a daily opportunity to build and construct. Here are some of the models the children were proud of and photographed by themselves.


On Thursday we had lots of fun outside at Muddy Movers. Struan was our class photographer and captured lots of the action. If you look closely you’ll see our budding photographer in a reflection in the teapot! 📸
