This week
We have had a great week back at school! It was lovely to hear about all the things the children had done during the holidays.
We have been straight back into our learning timetable. In phonics, we have been recapping Level 3 sounds and challenging the children by reading and writing words as well as completing sentences. In maths, we have looked at the words “more” and “less” within numbers up to 20. We have also been looking at repeating patterns.
In PE we used our ball skills to roll and push trying to balance the ball along a bench, this was really good fun. In music, we learned a new song “The Big Bear Funk” and will put the xylophone accompaniment to it next week.
We have enjoyed using a painting program in the computer suite and were pleased to read with our buddies again.
Next week
We will be recapping further patterns in Level 3 in phonics and learn the last two tricky words “all” and “are”. In maths, we will be continuing to learn patterns up to 20.
Reading
In the back of your child’s reading journal there is a reading log. If they read three times a week and it is signed your child will receive a sticker. Also if you would like to come and read a story to the class on a Friday afternoon, please e-mail me to arrange.
Tapestry
This term, there will be less recorded on Tapestry as we begin to work in different ways to help the transition to Year One and begin to assess the children against the Early Learning goals.
Thanks for your continued support,
Miss Morling
