This week in literacy we have introduced the Gruffalo story. The children really enjoyed following the footprints that he had left us leading to the story. The children found his purple spikes and brown fur left on the pathway! We shared the together and then the children drew their favourite part of the story and explained to us what happened.

The children also enjoyed making their own masks of the characters from the story and acted parts out together.

Here is some of the drawing and writing the children have created this week:

In maths we have focused on numbers 4 and 5. The children have really enjoyed making the characters from Numberblocks to represent 1,2,3 and 4. Please continue to practise recognising the numerals and making the amount using different objects around the home.

In PE this week, the children have focused on their gross motor development with balancing, hopping, jumping and rolling.

In phonics the children have been focusing on rhyming words. Again please practise this at home so the children can get used to listening to the sounds in words ready for learning phase 2 phonic sounds.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
