Greetings to all Ladybird parents. Another very busy week is over and It only seems like yesterday we were writing the blog to you all.
We have had another week of fun and learning and have lots to tell you.
This week in Phonics, Miss Brind decided that we needed to take another look at last week's sounds to make sure we were confident in using them. We have looked at ch, sh, th and ng and we have enjoyed looking in the mirrors this week to have a look at what our mouths look like when we are saying them.
Ask your child to show you the difference between these sounds and if you catch your child mouthing this sounds in your bedroom mirror then you can blame Miss Brind.
Don't forget you will have the chance to see another Phonics session (this time it is Phase 3) on Monday 4th February at 9am, so when you bring your child into school, make sure you stay, ready for the phonics session.
This week we have had a look at 1 more and 1 less. The children have enjoyed using these words, but haven't yet been able to match this work with our number sentence work of +1 and -1.
Here is Denni-Mia trying really hard with 1 more at the table activity:
We have been really interested in our book this week 'Dear Zoo' and this has made us think about all kinds of animals that might live in a zoo. It has also made us look at a really long word. We have been thinking about the word 'Camouflage' and the children are able to think about why an animal might want to camouflage him/herself and which colours might be best for animals to stand next to.
Have a look at our 'Camouflage' display when you are next in the class. The children have made a collage of green animal pictures and then we have displayed them on a .......guess which colour we have put them on? The animals are displayed on a green background to camouflage them.
The children have been thinking about the things that they are good at. We have lots of helpful children, fast runners, swimmers, bike riders and artists in our class. We are now thinking about what we would like to get better at. Over the next couple of weeks the children are going to work hard at their chosen talent. Ask your child what they would like to get better at and see if they can show you how they are doing.

Last week Ladybird class were awarded 'On Time Turtle' because everybody in our class came to school last week on time.
Well Done Ladybirds.
Here are pictures of a few more things that we have been up to this week:
Ivan has been very kind to Bethany this week.
Zak enjoyed making a home for a cheetah this week.
Finally you will have received a letter yesterday inviting your child to a karate club. Yesterday at 9:30 Ladybirds went to the hall to join in with a Karate 'taster session'. The children had lots of fun and were keen to learn more. If your child is interested in learning karate then please see the leaflet for a month's 'free trial'
Hope to see you all on Monday for our phonics lesson.
Have a great weekend.
