Snow Snow Snow!!

What a cold week it has been! The whole of Norfolk stopped, but here at Northgate Infants School we have had a busy week and have made so much effort in keeping safe and keeping warm.
Well done to all those children in Ladybird class who have come to school everyday and on time too!

This week we have learnt some new sounds and are now up to and including 'qu' in the Phase 3 phonics books. Over the weekend ask your child to find words with these sounds in. I'm sure you will be shocked at how much they know.
We are also working hard to write the Phase 2 and 3 sounds, so if you have any spare time ask your child to form the letters and bring them into school for your child to get a sticker.
The children are always on the look out for these words.
Here is Rubie, she has found a q from yesterday's phonics session on 'q' and 'qu'.


The children enjoyed a visit from the Dental Nurse on Wednesday and learnt all about how to brush their teeth and what types of food were important to eat as a healthy snack in between meals.
The children in Ladybird Class were so well behaved and Mandy (the dental nurse) was very pleased that the children listened so well.

In Numeracy this week the children have been writing, recognising and counting numbers. The children are enjoying finding numbers on the number cards and matching them with the bead strings.

The children have been investigating 'Floating' and 'Sinking' and are getting very good at predicting which things will float or sink. Can the children use this vocabulary at home?

Yesterday we joined in with the rest of the county and had snow settle on the playground. The children were very sensible and dressed up in their warm clothes, hat, scarves and gloves and went out to experience what the snow felt like.

Here are some pictures of the children yesterday:








 
 
 


We hope you have a lovely weekend playing in the snow and we'll see you Monday morning to look at your child's celebration book.
