We have had an exciting week with World Book Day to enjoy and celebrate. The children loved dressing up and we all enjoyed wearing our PJ's, it definitely created a nice relaxed environment for the day. Stories and books are such an integral part of foundation and everyday is about storytelling and adventures as the children learn through play. We shared many of our favourite books this week and the children enjoyed sharing the ones they brought into school on Thursday. We made our own books and we discussed the meaning of words: author and illustrator. Reception class joined the whole school for the Book Day assembly.
Our focus story this week was 'The Enormous Turnip'. We listened to audio story and learnt the songs related to the story. We used adjectives such as: enormous, mighty, gigantic, marvellous to describe the turnip. The children made own story maps to help them to memorise and to retell the story. Next week we will be acting the story out
Phonics
In phonics we have been reading words with double letters and we have have revisited the tricky words: full, push, and, no, go, of.
Maths
In maths we have been learning about odd and even numbers. We have been playing games and lots of hands on activities to consolidate the children's understanding of what odd and even means. Based on what we have learnt this week, we will be learning to count in twos next week.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Sheehan
