What a busy week!
On Monday afternoon, we had a visit from our local Police Community Support Officer.
The children really enjoyed seeing the uniform, hearing more about the work he does and getting to sit in the police car.
We made poppies and paid our respects for Remembrance on Tuesday and have been talking about Children in Need today. It has also been anti-bullying week and in class we have been talking about what makes a good friend.
This week we have been looking at the story 'The Leaf Thief' about a very confused squirrel who thought someone was stealing all the leaves from his tree. The children drew some great squirrel pictures and had some great ideas about how they would catch the leaf thief.
We have been talking about the season Autumn this week. The children have been making hedgehogs out of playdough, making squirrel and leaf pictures and colouring mixing.
In phonics, we learned the next 4 sounds v,w,x and y. The children have found these a little tricky to pronounce correctly, so please encourage them to practice and remember to use the pure sounds.
The children have come home with their new book to read and sounds cards. In the inside of the front cover, it shows the sounds and words in the book, and you can use the sound cards to help build the words and work on blending. Please let us know if you have any questions.
In Maths, we have been working on our subitising skills. We have been looking at 1, 2, 3 and the children have enjoyed playing our 3 and not 3 games. We then looked at 4 and 5 and went around our environment to talk about what we could see.
We have also begun practicing our Christmas Nativity play – Mary’s Knitting, and you will receive more information about this next week We do have outfits in school so there is no need to buy anything.
Our certificate winner this week is Harper for her fantastic maths. She has enjoyed showing her new learning during our child initiated learning too. Well done!
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Fairclough and Mrs Kenny
