Hello Ladybirds!
This week has been busy as always and we have learnt a lot.
It has been our Caterpillar and butterfly week this week and even Miss Brind has learnt lots of new facts about the life of a caterpillar and a butterfly.
Did you know that butterflies only live for 2 weeks?
When a butterfly comes out of a chrysalis its wings are wet and it has to dry out in the sun for a couple of hours before flying off.
Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing this week:
Amanda found number 12 outside on the reception playground.
Victoria ordered the caterpillars, starting with the smallest and ending
with the biggest.
In PE this week we have been practising catching.
We tried out our skills by bouncing the ball on the ground before
we caught it.
We also tried to make sure we caught it with both our hands and made sure
we were watching it all times.
Jayden used the hoops to help him choose a space to bounce the ball.
Callum is using both his hands to catch the ball.
Bethany is watching the ball to make sure she catches it.
This week we have been re-visiting some of our phase 3 sounds to make sure that
we could remember them. Sounds that are one letter, we now know really well,
but we are still working on those sounds that have more than one
letter in them.
Sounds such as igh, oa, air and ear are still really tricking us,
so any times that you see or hear these words at home have a
go at writing them down or using bath/magnetic letters to see what
they look like with your child.
In Numeracy this week we have been learning about Symmetry, Days of the week
and subtraction.
The children were able to use symmetry to make patterns and recognise how a
mirror turns the image round.
The children can now recognise which days they usually come to school and which
days are at the weekend. Ask your child what day it is and see if they can use
the language of today, tomorrow and yesterday.

Ivan followed the instructions to make a fish using the minibeast connex.
Rubie joined the sound blocks together to make her name.
If you haven't returned your child's permission slip then please do so as soon as
possible as your child cannot go without parental permission.
Please make sure your child is prompt to school at 9.00 on Monday
as the coach will leave school to go to the Hippodrome at 9:15.
Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you all bright and early on
Monday morning.
