Hello all,

This week we continued learning about the Life cycle of a butterfly. We can't believe how quickly our caterpillars are growing. We think they have tripled in size since last week. The children are very observant and can describe the changes in the caterpillar's appearance very well. Throughout the week we have been story telling 'The very hungry caterpillar'. The children used the props to sequence the events of the story. 

This week the children have been practicing for sports day and have spent lots of time with Mr Mills running on the track. We have looked at what sports days looks like in other schools so that the children had an idea what it actually meant. I hope you all had a good day watching or for some having to join in with the activities. 

 Maths

In maths we have continued learning about money and have been looking at the values of English notes.

The children made their shopping list and predicted how much money they would need for the shopping.

Next week we will focus on adding single digit numbers.

Phonics

In phonics we have been practicing reading words with the digraphs and trigraphs which we have learnt in Reception.

Reception Assembly

Next week on Friday is Reception Class Assembly at 9am. You are welcome to come and see your children perform on the stage. 

I am looking forward to seeing you all for the parent- teacher consultations which will take place on Tuesday morning and Thursday evening.

If you haven't signed up yet, please do so I soon as possible. 

Have a great 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. Please revisit these sounds at home during the weekend. We greatly appreciate your support. Please, use the link below to access Little Wandle's section for parents.

 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...
