Our learning WB 03.10.22

  Week beginning 03.10.22


We have had another brilliant week! The children made me really proud at the Harvest service, the Chair of Governors sent an email to say how impressed she was with them which is lovely to hear. 

This week we have been 

  • learning new sounds in phonics and remembering the previous ones - s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r
  • using ten frames and cubes to show numbers and continuing to consolidate one more and one less than a number 
  • showing numbers on our fingers in different ways
  • subitising 
  • talking about different feelings and when we feel like this 
  • measuring in different containers, using language - full, half full, empty, more, less 
  • practicing our letter formation 
  • reading with adults

Nursery:

This week nursery children have been
  • exploring phase 1 phonics - focusing on what they can hear in different environments 
  • counting and beginning to explore numbers 
  • lots of stories 
  • using the interactive whiteboard to play games about numbers 

A few reminders: 

  • please can you write in the reading records so we know if your child(ren) have read at home
  • please let us know if the book it too easy/hard for your child, we want to instill a love of reading and therefore the correct book match is important 
  • please watch the phonics videos if you can with your child(ren) - feel free to share photos/videos with me on tapestry 
I hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

Fine motor skills

 Hello,  Fine motor skills are essential in order for your child(ren) to be able to write. We cannot expect them to write if they haven't yet developed the strength needed in their hands and fingers.  I am going to add some links here to activities or videos that you can do at home.  Activities to do at home:  https://theimaginationtree.com/40-fine-motor-skills-activities-for-kids/ Crocodile snap video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6kPcQSSsEY How to hold your pen:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FKuJtCCkNk Pencil grip development:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWAaMk7u8zk Hope you find this useful.  Miss Lewis

Week beginning 5th February

Week beginning 5th February  This week despite the rain we have had a lovely week :) We have been busy in our Mantle sessions as we begin our work as Scientists on a secret dinosaur Island and will continue this next term. The children have enjoyed having free access to the art area which means they can pick what they want to create and what resources to use.  If anyone has any phonics or badger books at home anywhere please can you bring them back to school.  You may find that your child is bringing a phonics book that they have read before, this is because I have changed the reading groups. Please don't worry about this, even if they read a book they have read before it will help with fluency and their confidence. As when I have read with them this week, even if they have read the book before they still need to sound out some words so it is not too easy for them.  On Monday we will be watching Emma (Seth's Mum) plant a tree in our area, the children are very excite...
