The children explored recognising, identifying and sorting 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, \u00a31 and \u00a32 coins through a range of fun, play-based experiences, including our class shop. They enjoyed sorting coins in different ways, such as by shape, colour and value. As the week progressed, the children developed their confidence by paying for items using the exact amounts and even began combining different coins to make totals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In literacy, we introduced the \u2018ch\u2019 joint phoneme. The children took part in a variety of engaging activities to help them identify, read and write words containing this sound. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing confidence in applying their phonics knowledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In PE, we began practising for our upcoming Sports Day. The children had lots of fun taking part in the egg and spoon race.. They showed great determination and resilience, continuing to try even when the egg fell off their spoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Comments from the children about what they enjoyed this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">EM &#8211; I liked feeding the fish.<br \/>\nLF &#8211; I liked the indis.<br \/>\nMS &#8211; I liked reading my book.<br \/>\nTC &#8211; I liked when I went to the Den for the Pupil voice groups.<br \/>\nKA &#8211; I liked going to the pupil voice groups.<br \/>\nKO &#8211; I liked learning the different coins for maths.<br \/>\nED &#8211; I liked going on the chromebooks.<br \/>\nKH &#8211; I liked designing a new world cup football.<br \/>\nHM &#8211; I liked drawing with my friends.<br \/>\nCS &#8211; I liked learning the \u2018ch\u2019 sound.<br \/>\nJS &#8211; I liked learning about the Football World Cup.<br \/>\nAM &#8211; I liked practicing for sports day.<br \/>\nAB &#8211; I liked learning about the different coins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Reminders:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Monday 4th \u2013 School is closed for the bank holiday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Thursday 7th \u2013 In Service Day \u2013 school is closed to pupils.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Thursday 14th \u2013 Parents Evening<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Friday 15th \u2013 Sponsored Fun Run<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Thursday 20th \u2013 Sports Day \u2013 P1 and P2 is in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Friday 21st and Monday 24th \u2013 School Closed for Bank Holiday Weekend<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Have a lovely weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Laird and Room 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week in Room 4, the children have been very busy and engaged in lots of exciting learning across the curriculum.
