What a busy week we have had:
Our words for this week: SIREN FIRE EXTINGUISHER FIRE HYDRANT
We looked for the fire extinguishers around school.
We talked about bonfire night and what the children saw and heard.
We learnt about the Hindu festival of light called Diwali and made our own clay Dyva pots.
We talked about the role of fire fighters, that they live in our community and how brave they are to keep us safe.
In maths we looked at grouping 1,2 and 3's
one more ,one less, two fewer , two more?
We also learnt about why we celebrate remembrance day and of the soldiers who keep our county safe.
Here are a few photo's

A busy week of Autumn weather again.
Vocab words this week : hibernation swirling and twirling
A freezing start to the week so I was hoping for some Autumn coloured leaves but no luck! as the weather warmed up.
We did get out into the woods and make an art collage of a hedgehog from natural materials we found.
We began our subitising journey looking at groups of 1 2 3 without counting them.
We used a 5 frame (which can be found on my Reception class web page or just draw one on a piece of paper) to place the object on, starting with the left empty box and put one conker in each box to fill it.
When it is full there is 5. - no need to count
We looked at 3 and how many spaces were left on the 5 frame. They can tell you this without counting!
We then had to make 2. What do we need to do? 'Take one away' some one said. 'Yes that right, so 2 is a smaller amount than 3'. We continued with questions like this.
So much maths with 3 conkers and a 5 frame.
We painted with sticks. Printed with leaves and fingers this week.
Learning 5 more phonics sounds total 25 now!

The warm weather this week has been lovely for the children to play outside.
Thank you for collecting lots of lovely signs of Autumn on your walks. We used them for talking time and making patterns.
Words of the week were : Harvest festival Kindness
The story we have been retelling is The Little Red Hen!
We have been making patterns with natural objects and printing a pattern with objects.
It has been mental health awareness week so we have been thinking about things that make us happy.
In the woods we made some happy faces with natural objects.
We have now learnt 20 sounds we are half way though set 1.
We will be quizzing the children next week on the ones they have remembered.
Here are some highlights.
