Hello everyone,

This week the children have enjoyed the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. We have been singing songs and sequencing the events in the story. The children were also able to create an alternative ending to the story.

Next week our focus story will be 'The Three Little Pigs'. 

Phonics

This week we have been reading books with rhyming words and have been playing rhyming games. 

At home, I would like the children to find two items which rhyme e.g. spoon- balloon and bring them to school next week in a named bag. 

Next week we will be playing blending and segmenting sounds games.

Maths

In maths we were looking at numbers of personal significance which we will continue to do next week.. Children can bring pictures of their house number in from home ( taken on camera or drawn). The pictures will be displayed in our classroom.

On the 24th of September the children will have their individual photographs taken. 

We will also celebrate Spanish Day at school on the 24 of September. The Foundation stage children will be learning the Flamenco dance and will learn to sing the' Hello' song in different languages.

REQUEST

Could you please send in any recyclable boxes and pots as the children can use them to make models.

Could you please return your child's learning journal ASAP so that we can start to collate their observations.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mrs Sheehan

 Hello all, This week we have begun learning songs for the Harvest Festival. The children found lots of colourful autumn leaves in the garden which they have used for cooking in our mud kitchen. We have seen lots of amazing pies and beautifully decorated cakes.  The children also loved doing a puppet show. They used puppets and dressed up to perform for their friends. Following the children's interest, next week, we will create our own puppets. Phonics  In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: i, n, m, d.

 Welcome back,  It has been a good week in foundation and the children seem very happy to be back with their friends. We have created a Winter area for the children to play and learn in, with lots of activities relating to the cold. I have included some photos for you to see.  Next week we are going to be starting  stay and play sessions. We have put families into groups so that we don't have too many people in the unit at once. Please make sure that you know what date you are invited to join us and speak to me if you have any queries. Child Initiated Stay and Play Sessions Happy New Year to you all.

 Hello all, We have a had a very Chinese week in the unit with lots of exciting activities relating to the Chinese New Year. The children have made Chinese dragons, prepared and eaten noodles using chop sticks, looked at China on our map and learnt about the Chinese Zodiac story. It has been a very busy week. The children have also tried to do some Chinese writing which was fantastic. We always enjoy this festival as it really captivates their interest  especially as we are looking at other countries each day on our map. On Tuesday, Reception class went for their first school trip to The Snow Centre. The children were very excited going on a coach as for most of them it was the first time having that experience. I'm glad all the children found the courage to go down the slope. The children were amazing and the staff from the centre commented on our children's excellent behaviour. Next week is half term and we are all looking forward to a rest. I hope you all have a good b...
