Hello Ladybird parents!
After a lovely week off the children have come back to school ready to learn and what a week we have had.
Firstly the children have noticed how much the weather has changed and how they need to have their warm coats, scarves, hats and gloves on. The children have also noticed how many leaves there are on the field and how the grass is now turning into mud, this means that the children are wearing their wellies a lot to investigate on the field.
In Reception phonics this week we have started to learn a sound a day. This week we have learnt both the sound and action for s,a,t and p. We have also been using these sounds in words and listening out for them when we are looking at objects from our sound box.
In Year 1 phonics this week we have been looking at igh, oa, ai, ch, sh, oo, ure and ee and have been using the sounds in our phonics writing along with listening out for the sounds in words.
With sounds like ch and sh, we have been noticing the difference and saying which sound is in which word.
Why not play this at home with your child. Can they hear the difference in these words? rich, shop, ship, chip, much.
In PE this week we used some firework sounds and dancing scarves to help our bodies to become fireworks. We 'whizzed' around the room making long and short shapes, tall and wide shapes and put on a class firework display to Mrs Whittaker. She loved it.
Here are some pictures of our firework display:
This week we have talked lots about fireworks and fireworks safety, we have learnt about Guy Fawkes, we have made our own firework rules, made bonfire pictures, glitter fireworks and made rockets to display in our classroom.
In Numeracy this week we have been learning about 1 more and 1 less. The children have worked really hard and some of our children were extended to look at a number square and choose any number to 100 and tell an adult what would be 1 more or 1 less from that number.
This picture was taken of Andrejs who was pretending to be a teacher in our classroom
on Wednesday and he was reading the story to his friends.
We hope that you have had a great week like we have. We have learnt lots this week and remember if your child has a 'wow' moment at home we would love to hear about it and it can be recorded in their celebration or magical moment book too.
See you on Monday
Ladybirds
