Today we were very excited to lead our first ever class assembly. We chose the theme of Mother’s Day because this Sunday is when we celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK and we can say thanks to our mums for everything they do for us. We drew some lovely pictures of our mums and told our audience why our mums are special to us. These are just some of the reasons we gave.
“My mum is special because we do lots of fun things together.” Cara
“My mum is special because she is kind to me.” Mohnish
“My mum is special because she cuts my hair and she is the best cook ever. She gives me brand new toys.” Dexter
“My mum is really funny. She plays pranks on me and tells me jokes and it makes me laugh.” Ethan
“My mum is special because she takes care of me and my family.” Dylan
“My mum is special because she makes yummy breakfast for me.” Jack
These are some of the beautiful pictures we drew of our mums.
As part of our assembly we learned some new songs but our favourite one was The Mother’s Day Song, have a listen and you’ll see all the great ways (or not!) we can help our mums. We have also been busy creating a special surprise for our mums which we are sure they are going to love!
In Numeracy this week we have practised odd and even numbers, revisited number bonds to 20 and begun to explore measurement by considering length and height. We had great fun trying to find items which were shorter and longer than a spoon and then we practised measuring different items in the classroom using non-standard units from around the class.
In literacy we have been revising our Set 2 and Set 3 sounds with a particular focus on consonant blends ng and nk for P2 and the split digraph i-e for P1. We have also been practising our red words to build up our fluency in reading. If you have time please practise these at home by clicking on this link, red-words.
This week we have been enjoying the lovely weather and we hope the sunshine continues over the weekend for our Mums’ special day! Have a great weekend.
