Very proud Parents and Teachers

Hello Ladybird parents.

As you will probably agree, the Christmas play performances were fantastic and made everybody proud. The children worked so hard and really are a credit to their families and of course Northgate Infants School.

As well as practising this week we have also had lots of learning opportunities.

Here are a few of our favourite moments from the week:

Jessica, Jayden and Onur decided to open up a
Hairdressers in class this week.

Callum and Jack took baby Jesus to a very
special inn that they had made for him.

Jessica and Gabbi enjoyed sharing the pram and took a
visit to the shops.





Lenny found a frozen leaf in Butterfly's water tray.

Chelsie, Amanda and Riley performed a Christmas concert

using their wonderful new guitars.

 

As you will agree the weather is getting very cold and the children are needing warm coats, hats, scarves and gloves. Many of the children are very good at 'zipping' their coats up, but we still have a lot of children who cannot do their coats up by themselves.
Lets see if the children's New Year's Resolution can be to 'Zip' up their coats by themselves. This can be practised lots at home.

Next week will be a very enjoyable, but very busy week. We have something going on everyday next week.
Monday- Christmas Party
Tuesday- Christmas Fayre
Wednesday- Carol Concert in the church and Christmas dinner
Thursday- Pantomime in the hall
Friday- Ukulele Concert in the hall

Have a lovely weekend

Winter

Hi Ladybird Parents

This week we have been thinking about 'Winter' and we have had perfect weather to help our understanding of how cold it can be. This has helped us to think of lots of describing words, which we have put up on our Snowman display. Next time you are in the classroom have a look on the back of the door and you will see our wonderful describing words.

With all the cold weather we have been exploring ice, thinking about warm winter clothes and talking lots about melting.
Here are some pictures of us exploring on the field yesterday. We had lots of fun, but made sure we were being very safe and warm.

This week the children decided that they wanted to decorate the classroom, ready for Christmas. The children did all the hard work and did a very good job.

By this afternoon we will have finished Phase 2 of our Phonics work. This week we have been working on 'Phonic Friends'. These are sounds that live together with another sound but make the same sound as the single letter e.g. ff,ll and ss.
The children have now been given their Phase 3 books ready to learn the next group of sounds. The children are getting really good at recognising each Phase 2 sound.

How many sounds can your child find in your house?
Can they write them down correctly?

Next week will be very busy as we will be performing our Christmas Play. Don't forget that the Reception play is on next Thursday 13th December at 2pm and on Friday 14th December at 9:30 am.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
If you haven't brought in your child's costume please can you make sure it is in school ready for Monday 10th December. I must say we do have some talented parents who have really used their imaginations and either made or bought some super costumes. Thank You.

Have a lovely weekend.
