We\u2019ve had a lovely week back after the October holidays.<\/p>\n
We’ve been doing some great reading and writing. We’re starting to focus on rhyming words and this week looked at words ending in -an. We wrote a silly story and have been writing real and nonsense rhyming words.<\/p>\n
In numeracy we\u2019ve been finishing our work on patterns \u2013 making tricky patterns with cubes and Cuisenaire rods and also with numbers. We\u2019ve also started addition to twenty, using the base tens and cubes to help us.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday we had a virtual Skipper assembly. Mrs Wilson spoke about the importance of being kind and Mrs Ward read us a story about \u2018filling our buckets\u2019. When we are kind to someone, or someone is kind to us, it fills our bucket. When we are sad or mean, or someone is unkind to us, this lessens our bucket. For the rest of the week we\u2019ve looked for lots of opportunities to fill our own and others\u2019 buckets.<\/p>\n
This included voting for our favourite picturebook for the UKLA awards. We re-read the remaining books and did various activities. We read\u00a0The Visitor<\/em>\u00a0about a lonely lady who lives on her own, who is cheered up when a little boy accidentally threw a paper aeroplane into her house. Like the lady whose bucket was filled, we filled our own buckets by making paper aeroplanes and flying them around the playground. We read\u00a0If all the World Were<\/em>\u00a0about a little girls whose grandfather makes her a notebook. We then made our own notebooks and started drawing pictures of our own families. This morning we looked at\u00a0Julian is a Mermaid<\/em>\u00a0and in circle time talked about how we are all unique. We then voted (in secret) and the winner was Aree Chung\u2019s\u00a0Mixed<\/em>!<\/p>\n To finish our week our very own Mrs Ward shared her illustrations in an alpabet book that is being published. \u00a0We asked some interesting questions about how Mrs Ward drew the pictures and how the book was made before giving Mrs Ward a big clap!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019ve had a lovely week back after the October holidays.
