 Hello all, This week we have been supporting the children's understanding of relationships. Looking after each other and being kind to each other. We have had stories that have supported emotional behaviour and we have learnt that kind things make us feel good. On Monday we talked about Remembrance Day. We listened to a story called "Poppy's Day" on CBeebies. This is a child friendly story all about remembering. The children were excellent at understanding elements of this story, and it was a good example of how we should remember others. We also closed our eyes for a minute to remember people who help us and keep us safe. The children made their own poppies using paper, scissors, glue and tape. We had lots of crazy socks on Tuesday and finally finished our week with a spotty day, all in support of anti bullying week and Children in Need. It has been a very special week when we have learnt the importance of understanding others. Phonics In phonics the children were i

 Hello all, This week we have celebrated Diwali with the children, which is the Hindu festival of light.  The world Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps' because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small oil lamps called 'diyas'. Diwali always falls sometime between October and November, but the exact date varies each year as the Hindu calendar is based on the Moon. This year Diwali was on  31  October. The children really enjoyed learning about this festival, and we created our own Rangoli patterns and diva's. The children have come back full of energy and ready for learning after their break. It's good to see that lots of the bugs from last term are gone, fingers crossed. We have talked about bonfire night and the amazing noisy fireworks.  The children have spent time looking at our bonfire now that it has burnt out. One child commented on the fact that the nails had not melted as they were made of metal.  Phonics In phonics the children were int

 Hello all, This week we have introduced Hospital role play area to our classroom. The children watched excitedly  Mrs Robinson creating the Hospital and couldn't wait to enjoy it. We are all amazed how well the children use the resources, how creative and sociable they are. I'm confident that NHS will be in capable hands in the near future. Using information books, videos and our own experiences we discussed the importance of nurses and doctors jobs. Maths This week in maths we were learning about numbers 1,2 and 3 by finding quantities, subitizing, comparing numbers and problem solving tasks.  Phonics In phonics we revisited all of the letter sounds we have learnt so far and we played sound blending games. Please continue practising the sounds at home with your children over the half term.  After the holidays, all children need to be wearing the winter uniform which is the navy tracksuit. The children should not be wearing trainers but school shoes. Please, make sure that all

  Hello all, This week was all about spiders. We red information books to fid our amazing facts about spiders e.g. Spiders have oily legs so they don't stick to their webs. Water spiders live in webs full of water. When we came to school on Friday, we couldn't believe our eyes. There were spiders webs everywhere!!! We had a walk around the school grounds and we found lots beautifully crafted webs.  Our focus story this week was The very busy spider by Eric Carl. The children created amazing webs for our school corridor display. If you manage to take a picture of a web or a spider at the weekend, please send a picture to school or email it to me. Phonics In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: r, h, b, f. Our tricky word this week is: 'the'. Please revise all of the Autumn 1 letter sounds at home from the hand out you have been given. Your support is highly appreciated. Maths In maths we have been making repeating patterns using a variety of co
