We have been very busy in class this week learning lots of new things.

We have been introduced to our Learning Ladybird (he tells us what we are learning) and our Successful Spider (he tells us what to do in order to be successful). They are used throughout the day to help the children understand what they are learning and how they are going to achieve it.

Numeracy

• We have been counting on and back within 20.
• We have been using numicon to make number sandwiches.
• We have been learning about numbers 1-4. We have been trying to write them in the sand, on whiteboards and tracing them on our hands and tummy.
• Ask us about penguin 1, ticklish 2, butterfly 3 and feathery 4, they have been helping us draw and count items to 4.

Literacy

• We have learned the sounds m, c, s, p and a.
• We have been gluing and stciking coloured collage to help us remembe the colour of each sound.
• We have been practising to write the sound on big paper using coloured pens, pencils and crayons.
• We have been learning songs to go with each sound, Mrs Wedlock liked the song for ‘a’…….she might’ve played it about 100 times!!! But the wee ants were too cute 🙂

BIG TALK HOMEWORK

• We have been learning to draw a story, we have to include WHO is in our story, WHERE we were and WHAT we were doing.
• Next weeks story will be – I went to a party………
• At home can you spend some time talking to your child about a time that they have been to party to help them gather some ideas for their drawing/writing this week.

We love snack and a chat time in class. Here is a picture of some us doing what we love best……CHATTING!!
