Friday 25th October


This week in school, we have been learning all about Autumn. We went for a walk in our woods and looked for signs of Autumn. We talked about the different colours of the leaves and what is happening to the trees. We listened carefully to the sounds around us as we watched the swaying of the trees.

You may like to look for signs of Autumn on your walk to and from school.


Phonics

In phonics this week we have been learning the to sing our alphabet song and we have learnt the letter sounds i, n, m and d.

We have practised writing these letters.

You may like to try out some of the bug club phonics games linked to these sounds.

We have allocated the book "Sid did it". Please can you read this book twice at home as part of our three read approach.

 Friday 18th October This week, we have been learning the nursery rhyme 'Hickory, dickory dock'.  We have looked at a variety of clocks and noticed that all the numbers go in order.  We have also spent time talking about the timings of our school day e.g. we start our day at 9 o'clock, we eat lunch at 12 o'clock. Phonics This week we have begun Phase 2 and have introduced the letters s, a, t , p.  We have learnt the names of the letters, the sounds they make and the accompanying action. You may like to ask your child to show you these actions. We have identified words that contain these letters e.g. sun begins with 's', tip has 'p' at the end of the word.

We have been working on the children's use of scissors.  Lots of children have found this very challenging.  Please see the correct way to hold scissors below. Right handed scissor hold Left handed scissor hold You might like to give your child opportunities to use scissors at home.  Perhaps they could help you by snipping the tops of green beans when you are cooking.  They could practise snipping the tops of paper tubes to make models. At school we use scissors like the ones below.  If you don't have any scissors please let us know. Click here to find a link to the scissors that we use at school.

 Friday 13th September Welcome to our first blog post of this new school year! We are enjoying getting to know your children and we are pleased with how they are settling into their classes. Pictured below is our outdoor woodland area situated behind the Year R classrooms. Your child will be spending a day a week in our woodland area. We would just like to recap what your child needs to bring to school. They should bring a named, non spillable water bottle to school each day (filled with water please). On Sunny days you might like to send a named sun hat with your child.  Please apply sun cream at home in the morning and do not send it to school. Please can you put a change of clothes in your child's book bag as they may well get wet in the water tray or have an accident.  A change of clothes may include plain leggings or jogging bottoms, pants, socks and a plain t-shirt. P.E. Kit We keep your child's P.E. kit in the classroom for the whole half term.  The P.E. bag does not h
