Hello again,
The weather has really changed this week. Very Autumnal which helps with our change of seasons discussions.
In a few weeks we will be asking for you to bring in a small Autumn bag of items found on a walk.
In phonics as have learnt i n p g o videos are on teams this Friday if your child is not secure with these.
In math's we have been sorting objects and saying the rule.
We made robots with the sorted objects.
We have been learning about senses and that are important to keeping us safe, for example when crossing the roads
'looking and listening'. 'taste so we know when things taste bad'
We have made a college this week and used are sense of touch.
In the woods we found herbs and smelt mint which reminded us of tooth paste.

I have put the RWI teaching of the first 5 sounds onto Teams homework assessment for you to look through. If your child can recognise the 5 sounds they will not need to watch them.

1.Kind hand and feet.
2. Kind words.
3.Sitting nicely on the carpet.
4. Listen to the speaker.

Welcome class of 2024-25.
What a super first week the children have had. They have settled so well in the smaller groups and we look forward to seeing them all together next week.
Here I will post weekly photos and information about the weeks learning.
This is Blog is not for home work but the first 6 weeks I will put on what sounds we have taught in our RWI phonics sessions starting on Monday the 16th September
. I will then post on Micro soft Teams (when you get your 'logins)' a virtual fun 5 minute recap of the session to re-enforce the sounds at home. On this I also put on a book of the week to watch which helps your child prepare for the following week.
Next week we will have a full class of 30 children. It will be a settling in week and learning all the rules routine and making sure lunch time is a happy time and children eat their delicious lunches.
Thank you for your support at home.
