We hope you have all enjoyed the snow this weekend...don't forget to wrap up warm in case we get to play out tomorrow (unless it's just ice!). Wellies are welcome, although please remember to put names in them - otherwise it will be welly hell!!! We have spoke to the children about looking after their bits and bobs, such as gloves, hats and scarves - the best advice is to stick them down the sleeve of their coat before they hang it up! So...this week:
During Phonics sessions this week we will be practicing all the things we have been learning. We will recap all the sounds taught and all the tricky words, I, go, to, the, no, he, she, we, be, me as well as some high frequency words too. We will continue practicing blending and segmenting - we are getting really good at this!!
This week will see the beginning of our Christmas activities. We will be reading the story of the First Christmas and setting up a role area like a stable for them to retell the story! If you have any nice Christmas stories at home we would love to read them in school!
Our main numeracy focus this week will be 2D shape we will recap, circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, pentagon and we will introduce octagon too. We will be making patterns with the shapes to print on large sheets of paper that will become the wrapping paper in our Christmas workshop. We will also continue to focus on counting and number, making sure children are counting accurately.
Our topic now turns towards Christmas and this week we will be talking about Christmas traditions at home and how we celebrate Christmas- we will also be putting up our trees on Wednesday!!
Concert practice starts in earnest this week - with our first proper run through on Thursday afternoon. If your child has lines to learn then please keep practicing!! If you are having difficultly with costumes - please see us as soon as possible:)
So heres hoping for another great week - let's hope we don't get stuck in all week because of the ice!!
