Dinner time 16th November

Well, the children tucked into a lovely lasagne with garlic bread, green beans and carrots today. Followed by a jam sponge and custard!! We do love our custard..... lol.

It's nice to see some new additions to our 'hot meals' this week these blogs must be making you all want a school dinner!!

Keywords and Sound tags

Hi, Just a quick note to let you all know that we will be sending home a selection of keywords and 'tricky' words (these are the ones that cannot be sounded out), for the children to try and learn/ memorise to support their reading. We will add to these when required, as your child progresses through the bands.

We may also put in a selection of sounds we need your child to secure before we move onto a new set of sounds. As your child starts to secure these sounds a new set will replace them.

So, If you find a tag with sounds or keywords on them in your child's bookbag over the next few weeks, could you please spend a few minutes a day just flashing them to your child until they can start to recognise them by sight. This will help support your child's reading and phonic development going forward - Thankyou!!

Dinner 15th November

Welcome back!! Nice to see you all this morning and at least it was not raining. Today we had creamy bacon pasta twists with cheese, french stick, peas and sweetcorn alongwith a crunchy scrummy apple pie and crumble with custard!! Are you jealous.....?!

We would like to say a huge thank you for all your feedback regarding the recent 'open day' and we will try and accommodate refreshments next time. We agree that watching a numeracy or phonics session would be useful so as Mrs foster has already said, we will get our thinking caps on for next time. If you have any other comments to make about our open day then we look forward to hearing from you, so we can make the experience as useful as possible for up and coming 'open days' We are also looking forward to collecting in all those fabulous parental contributions to your child's profiles, the contributions handed in so far have been fantastic - Thanks!!

WEEKLY OVERVIEW - 15th November ' SHADOWS'

TOPIC - 'Let it shine'

This week we will be continuing with our topic 'Let it shine' by looking at how shadows are formed, discovering if shadows can move and how they move. We will be measuring shadows, drawing around our own shadows and then creating shadow puppets for our own class puppet show at end of the week.

PHONICS

We will continue to practice all phase 2 sounds we have learned so far and then we will be introducing the new sounds j,v,w,x we will be looking at the name of the letters as well as the sounds they make. We will be practising blending to read words, segmentation to spell words
and revising high-frequency words such as mum, dad, is, it, in, on, can and the trying to
read sentences using the letters we have introduced this week. The tricky words we will be going over this week will be is no, go, I, the.

NUMERACY

We will continue to use numicon to help support the children to understand the value of a teen numbers. Introducing place value by investigating that teen numbers always have 1 ten along with various units, using numicon as a visual tool to explain this. We will be practising our number formation, looking closely at the discrimination of our numbers (making sure we get our numbers the correct way round). Counting in 2's, 10's and forwards and backwards in 1's. We will be combining two groups of numbers to create a larger number. Recognising and ordering numbers 1 to 20. In Numeracy linked to our topic we will be touching on time sequencing the days of the week and months of the year and linking this learning to the seasons.

SEAL

We will be discussing how to be a good friend and how we should refuse to join in with unkind behaviour, and the tools we can use to deal with difficult situations.

Singing

We will be learning our Christmas songs ready for our Christmas concert and practising some of our old favourites (not the Boa Constrictor song)....

It sounds like we will be having another action packed week, we are glad you all had a good time at our open day we certainly enjoyed having you all in for the day!! See you Monday morning!!
