This week we have started our Nativity! Please look in your child’s bookbag for a letter outlining their role in the Nativity.

Parent evening slips have also gone out tonight with your time slot…so please have a rummage in your child’s bag!

In letters and sounds this week we have learnt the sounds z,y,qu and tricky words to, the, he, she.

In loopy letters this week we have written non fiction factfiles about people who help us which are now displayed in the library if you wish do go and have a look!

In numeracy we have been matching a numeral to a quantity and practising our number writing.

Next week is anti bullying week and we will be having a big focus on friendships and similarities and differences and loving one another.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have had a great start to our week with Gruffalo gymnastics and learning all about why we wear a poppy around Remembrance day.

The rest of the week we plan on introducing our new topic of ‘people who help us’ and learning all about different professions through our Numeracy and Literacy activities.

Thank you,

The Early Years Team

We have had such a wonderful time today! We all walked to the woods with our lovely grown up helpers and went for a wander in Gruffalo woods!! Unfortunately we didn’t see the Gruffalo but found many clues that he may have been there before we arrived…

We saw:

• A log pile house where the snake lives
• The owl’s nest
• An underground house for the little brown mouse
• The Gruffalo’s bath!! (a big pond)
• Signs of Autumn
• Lots of squelchy, squishy mud

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful mummy and daddy helpers we had today, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Lastly, you will find our home learning pyramid in your child’s home learning adventure book with  ideas for our new topic of ‘people who help us’. An overview of what we have covered in school has been stuck in the home learning diary.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Gruffalo Hunt sheet for use at home!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our visit to the woods to search for the Gruffalo!

The forecast is looking a bit drizzly for tomorrow so please make sure your child comes in with a waterproof, warm coat and has wellington boots in school. We are still aiming to go to the woods even if it rains although may have to postpone the visit if the rain is torrential and will have a plan B for the day (Gruffalo hunt and picnic around the school site)!

Thank you!

We have had a big focus on speaking and listening this half term and in order to develop our children’s vocabulary, listening, understanding and speaking skills we transformed the hall into an airport and flew to Australia!  The children then led their own learning by wanting to find out more about the country and even asked to write postcards to our class puppet, telling Lola and Yogi all about our trip down under!

Well done to all of seahorse and starfish class and all of our parents for completing your first half term! You have been a joy to teach so far and have earned your week’s rest! We have been very busy with our liturgy this week as well as being read to by the year 3 children. Have a wonderful, relaxing holiday and we are looking forward to hearing about your lovely home learning!

This week we have been…

• Learning how to order our numbers and even learnt how to identify odd and even numbers using Numicon!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have had a lovely time this week, learning lots of new sounds and numbers. We have been to the woods in our wellies as well as having our photo taken by a photographer from the News (which will be published in Friday’s paper supplement)!

A massive thanks to all the parents who came to our collective worship drop in and to the open evening to look at the books- it was lovely to see you!

Miss Moncreaff

Our Year R Liturgy will be taking place on Friday 24th October at 10:15am in the hall. The children will be sending home invitations this week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you all tomorrow…

Hello everyone!

As you may know we are due to have our outdoor area completely revamped which is extremely exciting for the children (and adults too!!)

The work is due to commence this week hopefully and is hopefully going to last around 3 weeks, weather permitting! If there are any disruptions to drop off or pick up points we will let you know as soon as possible.

See you all tomorrow!

Miss Rhoades
