Friday 14th March

This week we have continued with our work about Supertato, the veggie superhero. 
We have been very busy writing speech bubbles for the super veggies we made last week.
We have tried hard to remember to write our sentences with a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop.

Phonics
This week in Phonics, we have ben learning about the sounds sh, ch, th and ng.  We have practised writing words and sentences using these sounds.
We have started to learn the Phase 3 tricky words:

me, my, he, she, be, by

Maths

This week the children have consolidated their understanding of the composition of numbers by investigating the numbers within 7. eg. seeing that 7 can be made of 5 and 2.

They have begun to recognise that numbers can be made by combining parts in different ways and have been encouraged to make links by considering similarities and differences in the various ways of making 7.





Parent top tips!

Here is some guidance to help with morning routines:

A well- structured morning routine can help promote a sense of order which helps you and your child start your day in a calmer manner.   

Here are some tips to help establish a good routine...

- Prepare as much as you can the night before (e.g. get the uniform out, bookbag ready, packed lunch)

- Allow enough time to organise getting everything ready in the morning and allow extra time for unexpected circumstances. e.g. spilling breakfast, loosing a sock etc

- Reduce distractions and allow screens once tasks are done.

- Providing a healthy breakfast can help set your child up for the day and supports their concentration and energy levels.  e.g. weetabix, porridge with fruit, a smoothie, yoghurt, toast etc.

- A routine might look something like this...

Breakfast
Brush teeth and hair
Get dressed

-Using timers might help to motivate your child.   

-Remember to use one- step instructions

-Give lots of praise to your child when they follow your instruction.

- Please make sure your child comes to school everyday with a coat, filled water bottle and their bookbag.

 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. Bug Club Please check your child's reading log to see which sounds we have learnt this week. Maths This week in maths, we have been comparing quantities.  We have modelled the language 'more than' and 'fewer than' to describe how may objects are in a set. We have used a variety of ob...

Friday 27th September This week we have been singing the nursery rhyme 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. We are encouraging the children to join in with actions. 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. Maths In Maths this week the children have been encouraged to count a small amount of objects using one to one correspondence. The counting puppet helped us learn to count amounts accurately recognising that the ...

 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...
