The children have really enjoyed their first full week in school. They have been adapting so well to our routines as well as following our classroom rules whilst learning independently.

Our story focus this week has been The Gruffalo.

We followed a trail of footprints which led us to the book which was left by who we thought was the Gruffalo! The children have been retelling the story by drawing pictures, acting out the story using props as well as painting scenes from the story.

In Maths we have been practising recognising numbers 1-5 and then counting objects to match the numerals. Some children have even been able to count up to 10!

In phonics we have been listening to sounds and copying them by making the noises with our mouths as well as on our bodies. We also tried to copy patterns.

Please encourage the children to continue counting at home particularly with food items when shopping.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

From the year R team.
