This week we have been learning the ‘th’ sound. It is a bit of a cheeky sound as we have to stick our tongues out when we say it! We have been practising segmenting and blending words and we are getting confident in reading simple sentences.

On Tuesday, we celebrated Pancake Day. We have a Pancake Parlour in our classroom and we have enjoyed making pancakes for our friends. We also learned about halves in maths and we had to cut our pancake in half. We know that a half is two equal pieces.

On Wednesday, we went along to the hall to take part in the Ash Wednesday Service with Fr Simon. We have been learning all about Lent and during writing we wrote a Lenten Promise. We tried hard to use our sounds and common words. For each day of Lent we are going to choose an act of kindness to carry out. When we have completed this we get to colour in a leaf on our Kindness Tree.

On Friday, we took part in an activity with our House Groups.

Congratulations to Alexander who is our Reading Champion and to Lillian who is our Hot Chocolate winner.

Some of our personal highlights this week are:

Kacper – I enjoyed playing with the numberblocks.

Lillian – I enjoyed making my own band during choosing our own learning time.

Olga – I liked playing in the Pancake Shop.

Joshua – I liked decorating a box at the creative table.

Eve – I enjoyed choosing my own learning.

Miss Stebbing – I was very proud of everyone when they were writing words using the pictures on the pancakes and then flipping them to check they had the correct spelling.
