Hello all,

This week we spent some time learning about Armistice Day and why we remember those who have helped to keep us safe. The children sat quietly and took a moment to think about all the people who work hard to protect and care for us. We also created a beautiful poppy mural to help us remember.

We also enjoyed learning all about Children in Need! We talked about how we can help others, show kindness and make a difference. The children got creative and worked together to make a giant Pudsey Bear. We had lots of fun getting involved and learning about the importance of helping those in need.

Phonics

In phonics the children were introduced to the letter sounds: v, w, x, y and a tricky words: as, has, and.

Maths

In Maths we explored numbers 4 and 5 by making quantities in different ways, subitising, finding one more and one less from a given number.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs Sheehan

 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!

  EYFS Christmas Blog – We’re Ready for Papa Noël!   What a magical week it’s been in EYFS! The classroom has been filled with the sparkle of the season as the children have been busy wrapping presents, chatting excitedly about Christmas, and getting well and truly ready for Papa Noël to make his visit. Their enthusiasm has certainly brought plenty of festive cheer to our days! This week, we have introduced an exciting new office role-play area to our classroom. The children have absolutely loved exploring this space, and it has been wonderful to see their imaginations come to life. What has stood out the most is the amount of purposeful writing the children have been doing while they play. From writing messages and filling in forms to creating lists and taking phone calls, they have been practising their early writing skills without even realising it—because they’re having so much fun! Christmas concert The children are looking forward to performing for you on the 16th and...

We explored these concepts through hands on activities. Next week we will look at different patterns and we will make patterns using natural resources.
