Gopal has been having a really excellent week that we wanted to share with everyone!

He has been working very hard on his numbers to 5 this term, ordering and recognising the digits and matching them to the correct number of things. He normally works with Mrs Bennett, Mrs Crosbie or Mrs Rooney on this at Mental Maths time but on Tuesday he worked independently on this job and did fantastically! Here he is proudly showing off his work 🙂

He has also been working very hard on remembering all his sounds and hearing them in words. He used his sound strip with Mrs Rooney to find the correct sounds to spell words with phonemes in them.

Today, Gopal wrote the numbers 1 to 5 by himself for the first time. He finds 2 and 5 tricky and sometimes gets them confused but today he wrote the numbers without having to make any corrections! Great growth mindset Gopal, well done for keeping trying with those tricky numbers!

 

He has been revising the sound e this week and today wrote all these e letters by himself.

 

We are all so proud of Gopal and all his independent work this week! He was given the super star lanyard to wear today to celebrate his amazing achievements 🙂

 

We learned abut the phrase being ‘on fire’ and how this means doing lots of really great things. Gopal is definitely on fire this week! 🙂
