Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

We are really enjoying our author study of Julia Donaldson books. We are sharing these texts and finding phonics sounds, looking at spelling and grammar rules and also discussing character and plot. We are writing descriptions of our favourite characters in our big writing lessons. You will be able to see our wonderful work on the wall.
In handwriting this week we have been practising letters with tails. We are all working on common words in spelling, working at our own level.

In music we are continuing to learn different body percussion to a range of songs. For PE we are playing playground games to improve fitness and working on ball games. We have had fun with parachute games too.

Homework will go out this Wednesday and is always returned on a Monday.

Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

What a lovely first day today! It was so nice to see everyone and share our holiday news.

We enjoyed playing class bingo and started to create our new class charter.

We liked exploring the classroom with our friends and playing outside together.

We were practising letters that start like a ā€˜c’ for handwriting heroes and we shared some books from the class library. At the end of the day we played spelling sparkle to practise our common words.
