Room 5

Over the last few weeks, Room 5 have been learning all about the Bible Story, Noah’s Ark.

They put their super team work skills into action and worked together to build their very own version of the ark!

Using a variety of construction materials they were able to put their ideas together and build some amazing arks.

Take a look at their super creations…

Room 2

This week, we learned our first sound – ‘a’. We learned a little song, with actions, to help us remember the sound the letter makes. We thought of lots of ‘a’ words and identified where the ‘a’ was in the word. We have been practising our formation in various ways. We thought the cream was lots of fun!

This week we also,

E – “learned about number 9.”

A – “I got a certificate for doing really well with my numbers.”

P – “tried our number 9’s on the ground with chalk.”

C – “did French, your feelings, if you are okay.”

H – “learned new words in another country like bonjour.”

A – “learned our ‘a’.”

On Thursday 10th October, we will be hosting our Parents’ Evening. I am looking forward to speaking with you about your child’s progress.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Miss Mulreany and Room 2 🙂

Room 24

French – For French we were working on remembering our numbers up to twenty and our tens up to one hundred. French numbers are so different to ours, like for the number 70 they say soixante-dix which means 60-10. For 80 its quatre-vingt which means 4-20! You have to do math in order to count French numbers! We were also playing a game to learn French commands such as ‘stand up’ and ‘sit down.’

Literacy – We’ve been doing- more reciprocal reading in groups of five. Each group had a reader, a clarifier and a questioner. Once we had read two chapters, we had to complete a task to do with what we read. We got to use some of our Emotion Works learning this week in our tasks. We also started a block of poetry writing on National Poetry Day!

Numeracy – Did you know one of Miss Napier’s very distant relatives is John Napier, the Scottish Mathematician?? Well we found that out this week and have been solving math problems linked with patterns and shapes to solve the mystery of John Napier’s stolen museum artefacts. We’ve also been completing word problems in groups but making them as active and fun as we can to help solve them.

Room 6

This week we have continued our topic of The Colour Monster through our writing, we all wrote our own version of what happens at the start, middle and end of the story and the writing was fantastic! Big high five to everyone! We also recapped all our work on 2D shape and made posters to showcase our learning.

We continued practicing our ball skills by using a Rugby ball this week and talking about the different ways we can pass the ball to one another- check out our fabulous pictures to see our ideas.

This week we all worked hard practing the ‘ay’ phoneme, next week we will be looking at the ‘ea’ phoneme (leaf) and starting our new topic ‘Autumn’.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, can’t wait to see you all Monday. (Special shout out to Colton and Charlie, celebrating their birthdays! and to Noah for being our Star Mathematician)

Busy bees 🐝

Room 3 have had another busy week learning loads of new things. This week in Numeracy we focussed on both the numbers 8 and 9 and have been trying really hard to form these correctly. In Literacy, we have been really excited to start our sounds and have discussed how important these are to help us read, write and spell.
In French we have continued to learning greetings, how to say our name and French colours. We enjoyed using our knowledge of the French colours to choose our lunches and also to design a rainbow.
