This week we have had special visitors in the school who came to see our classroom and observe our learning.  They were so impressed with the way the children led their own learning, followed the rules of the classroom and engaged in all of their learning tasks. It was so nice to show off how well everyone has settled in to school life in such a short period of time.

We have completed the first set of Jolly Phonics sounds SATPIN and the children have been building and blending words. They are all so keen to start reading books and we will start to explore Storyworld next week.

We have been further developing our phonological awareness learning about word boundaries.

Miss Bishop taught us about algorithms and how to code using the BeeBots.

In PE we have been learning about basic rolls in gymnastics in the gym hall and developing our ball skills outdoors in the MUGA.

In Maths, we continue to investigate number and also 2D Shape – we went outdoors on a shape hunt and have been learning about the properties of various shapes building on our learning about bee hive hexagons last week.

We have been talking about our classroom areas and how to improve them – the children have some great ideas, although I’m not sure how a swimming pool in the role play would work!

We had an outdoors STEM challenge to create a den. Three teams competed and then it was so lovely to see the children decide to make one bit den for them all to go inside.

The building skills also continue to develop in the construction area.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
