Hello all,

On Tuesday, we celebrated Safer Internet Day. We talked about how to use screens safely and what we can do to stay safe online. The children learned that if they ever see something on a screen that worries or upsets them, they should always tell a trusted adult. We discussed the importance of being kind online and making good choices when using technology.

It has also been Mental Health Week in school. We spent time talking about different emotions and how we feel at different times. The children shared their ideas about what makes them happy, sad, excited, or worried. We also enjoyed some lovely mindfulness sessions, where we practised calming our bodies and minds through breathing and quiet time.

Phonics

In phonics, we have been revisiting Phase 2 and 3 letter sounds and the tricky words. Please keep practising the sounds at home until your child can read each one fluently.

For practice videos go to Little Wandle website and choose the section for parents.

Please use the link below to access the videos of the letter sound pronunciations.

Thank you for your continuous support. 

Maths 

In maths we have been exploring odd and even numbers and double quantities.

Next week is half term and we are all looking forward to a rest. I hope you all have a good break and we look forward to seeing you after the holidays.

 Hello all,  It was lovely to welcome the new Reception class this week. We were very impressed with how calm and engaged in play the children were on their first days of school. The children are slowly becoming familiar with the new routines and new friendships are being established. We have enjoyed singing and story time together. The class took part in PE sessions with Mr Mills and the music lesson with Mrs Lawrence which were lots of fun.  Each week Reception class will take part in three PE sessions  ( Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and on Tuesdays the children will be joining the whole school for the music assembly and will have a music lesson.  Next week Reception class will start Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics programme and will take part in daily maths sessions.  Please remember to bring named welly boots next week if you haven't done it yet.  Have a lovely weekend!

  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...

Mental Health Week

 Our focus this week has been children's  mental health, we created lots of activities to support the children with their understanding of emotions. The children have a good understanding of what emotions are and we have spent time learning strategies to help us understand that all emotions are important and play a role in who we are. The children had a good understanding of  how they feel and they were all able to say that its good to talk about their feelings. We created some crazy hair photos which the children enjoyed making, they added words that expressed how they feel which was very enlightening. We  told stories and  made our own to demonstrate different ways to deal with different emotions. Although we have focused on  children's mental health  it is something that we do continually in early years. Supporting and encouraging children to understand emotions is very important. We tell them that sometimes it is ok not to be brave or strong, its o...
