This week we have been celebrating book week. We have read lots and lots of books and given our opinions on which ones were our favourites. We would like to thank all the adults who joined us for our story time today. What a wonderful turn out- the most we have ever had and it meant so much to us that you came and supported your child. It was also lovely to see so many well behaved little brothers and sisters who enjoyed it so much too.
Our main book this week was Mrs Rainbow- as you can probably guess there were lots of mentions about colour in the story. Mrs Rainbow lived in a very colourful house, so this week we have been learning lots about houses and thinking about the types of homes we live in. See if your child can recognise the type of house that you live in e.g. flat, terraced house, bungalow.
The children have all seen pictures of different houses but see if you can spot them on your way to town this weekend or even when you are in the car.
This week we have been really lucky as we have had the book fair in school and we had a visit from the storyteller. We also had a visit from the dental nurse as well to talk to us about our teeth.
In Reception phonics this week we have learnt 4 new sounds g,o,c, and k. See if your child can remember the actions for all 12 sounds we have learnt so far.
In Year One we have been looking at sounds that have got 3 letters. e.g. igh and ear. These seem to be the hardest to learn as there are more letters to remember. See if your child can find igh or ear sounds when you are in the super market. They may be able to find 'igh' on packaging such as the word 'light' or in the clothes section on the front of 'tights'.
Remember if your children brings in any work from home then it can be used in their magical moment or celebration books and your child will get a reward too.
Here are a few of the other fun things we have been doing this week in Ladybird's Class:
This photo could be award winning in a competition.
April is looking for mini-beasts in the sensory garden.
Ladybirds were challenged to order themselves in a team
using numbers 0-10.
The children took under 30 seconds to get themselves
in the right order.
Angus has designed a beautiful pattern for
Mrs Rainbow's house.
Megan wrote 0 all on her own after our Numeracy
carpet session.
The storyteller read us lots of stories and taught us some
finger rhymes too.
Our classroom was happily crowded this morning
when we shared a whole class story time with our grown-ups.
Katie has written a number sentence all by herself.
We hope that you have a lovely weekend and look forward to some new learning, wonderful challenges and super exploring in school next week.
