Mearns Masters<\/strong><\/p>\n

This afternoon we began our 6 week block of Mearns Masters exploring ‘Coding’. Today our focus was firstly following instructions. For this, we created paper aeroplanes! We knew if we did not do this in the correct sequence the aeroplanes would not look or function the way they should. After this, Mrs Stephenson showed us the controls on a ‘beebot’ and what to do to make it go. It was lots of fun trying these out ourselves although we are finding coding the turns a little tricky. This is something we will explore further next week \ud83d\ude42 We also had the opportunity to play the ‘beebot’ game on the iPad. It was great to have an afternoon full of fun technology!<\/p>\n

Jolly Phonics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we learned the new sound ‘i’. We practised forming the letter correctly, identified pictures of objects beginning with ‘i’ and were introduced to blending sounds. We now know four sounds, ‘s’, ‘a’, ‘t’ and ‘i’. This week we will also learn the sounds ‘p’ and ‘n’.<\/p>\n

Numeracy & Maths<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are continuing to focus on practising number formation up to the number 10 this week along with challenging our counting skills. We enjoyed using the play-dough today to form different numbers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are hoping it won’t be much longer before photograph permissions are confirmed and we can begin sharing pictures with you all. If you haven’t already done so, please return consent forms as soon as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
