We have made a good start to this year in Ladybird Class and although we have only been back for a 4 day week, we have managed to do lots of learning.
The big news for us is that we now go into assembly with the Year 1 and 2 children everyday which has been very successful so far.
We have started our Phase 3 Phonics, so although we are always looking at what we have learnt, we have also been learning new sounds such as j, v, w and x.
It is very clear that Mummys and Daddys have been looking through the books with the children and this has helped the children lots. Thank you for your support.
This week we have been looking at farm animals and we are beginning to create a lovely farm display in our class with drawings, pictures and animals that we have made. Next time you are in the classroom, come and look at our display. I'm sure you will be impressed.
In our role-play area this half term, we have made a shoe shop, which the children are really enjoying spending time in. Lots of the children have found their 'dream' shoes and are trying hard to walk in the big heels.
Here is Amanda buying her favourite shoes in the shop. She has also found a bag that she likes too.
The children have come back ready to learn and have enjoyed showing the staff in Ladybirds what they have learnt so far in Reception. Some have also been practising over the holidays.
This week we have looked at Numeracy through the context of farm animals and have been counting the different kinds of animals and adding two groups together using the + and = signs.
Jessica showed that she knew her numbers using Numicon and matched the numbers to the pieces.
As well as remembering lots of sounds and numbers, the children have also remembered how to work as a team. Denni showed that she could work with Riley, Ellise and Gabbi to complete a puzzle.
Well done Ladybirds.
PE is on a Tuesday and the children will need their PE kits and plasters to cover any ear piercings.
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday morning, ready to share our celebration books with you.
