Welcome back after our Easter brake. The children are full of energy, ready for the exciting summer term.
We have started the term by learning about money. Knowing that the best learning comes from practical experiences, we have introduced a Foundation Café into our classroom. The children can purchase their milk and fruit using real money. Each day we choose two shopkeepers who serve the customers, two accountants who count the daily intake and write the sums in the book, and a banker who takes the money from the accountants and writes up a receipt. The children absolutely love the idea, and can't wait to be involved. Please allow your child to have some experience of handling money at home.
This term we are going to focus more on letter formation using the Pen Pals scheme. This week the children practised the Curly caterpillar family letters: c, a, d, o, s, g, q,e,f. All of these letters begin just like c, which makes easier for the children to memorise the correct formation of the letters.
Please practise the letters at home.
Phonics
This term we will work on consolidating Phase 3 letter sounds: j, v, w, x, y, z,zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur,ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er. Please support your child in creating a poster with the above letter sounds, especially the ones your child is not familiar with yet. If your child secured all of the letter sounds, please look for some words that include the sounds e.g. ai- snail, rain. Thank you for your continued support.
On Tuesday the 30th of April we are having class Class Photos.
Have a great weekend!
