Monday 23 September – EYFS/KS1 Phonics Parent Workshop Postponed until Monday 11 November – 4.00pm-6.00pm.
What we have enjoyed this week
The children have enjoyed being outside in the Autumn sunshine this week. They have undertaken Autumn walks around the school looking for signs of the season and taken a sound walk, recording the sounds they could hear.
Nursery
The children have collaged giant sized pictures of themselves wearing their school uniform. They cooperated together to complete their piece of art for the large display board. The children have enjoyed reading ‘Peace at Last’ and have been copying the sounds they hear in the story. They enjoyed hunting for numbers in the outside play area and matching the numbers they could find.
Kindergarten
The children have been practising their cutting skills by cutting out triangle prickles to stick onto hedgehogs. They also cut out some Autumn leaves for their hedgehog to snuggle up into when they hibernate.
They have worked together to create some class rules to help our classroom become a nice place to learn. They will be displayed on the wall and all the children will make a handprint and write their name next to them. They came up with some good ideas.
The number of the week was ‘two’ and the children had a go at writing it, finding two objects, drawing two objects and finding number two in the classroom. In their phonics lessons they have been concentrating on rhyming words.
Reception
The reception girls have been very busy this week. We had our first Religious Studies lesson. We thought about what makes us special. The girls were brilliant at identifying what makes them unique and special and drew some lovely pictures to go alongside this. We have been looking at the book ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ in Literacy to match our topic of senses. The girls have made some brilliant animal noises and were excellent at matching the animal sounds to the animal in a carpet game! We have had a great week and learning has been enjoyed by all!
Home Learning
Nursery and Kindergarten Go on an Autumn walk to find some conkers, acorns, pine cones, etc. and bring back to Nursery to share with the school.
Try to write your name using sticks in the ground.
Reception
Go on a senses walk around your house. What can you hear, see, taste, touch and smell? Be ready to report back to the other girls in the class!
