Which Class?

We would like to get an idea of who is actually reading the blog! Please answer the question on the 'POLL' to indicate which class your child is in! We would eventually like the blog to take over from newsletters etc so it would be good to see who is actually reading it!

Thanks :)

Overview - Week Beginning 17th January

Another amazing week in Reception this week!! I would like to say a super well done to Athens class who managed a BINGO week this week (full attendance!) I would also like to say a BIG thank you to Marshalls extended family in China who have sent us some amazing things for Chinese New Year - it was very exciting opening the boxes and looking at the beautiful decorations-our classrooms will look amazing next week!!

So next week.....our Topic continues with Chinese New Year - so lots of exciting things happening! Last week we told the children the story about the animals and discussed what China is like - this week we will be looking more at the traditions and the dragon dance and will also be sampling some Chinese food!!

Literacy this week continues with The Gingerbread Man - we will be following instructions to make gingerbread men - yum! If anybody has a gingerbread man cutter it would be great if we could borrow it as we only have one!!

Numeracy this week will look at addition. We will be using numicon to make number bonds of any numbers up to 10 and looking at how to write a number sentence (3+2=5).

In phonics this week we will be continuing looking ch-th-sh and ng - we will be going on a word hunt looking for words that contain those digraphs!

Gymnastics went really well last week - the children really enjoyed the apparatus - especially the wall bars!! I did take lots of photos - which I will get round to posting on here along with the dinner pictures!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday!! :)

Thanks

Smart Working Wednesday (SWW)

Today was our first Smart Working Wednesday (SWW)! Just to explain.....SWW is where the whole school (from Rec to Year 6) split into groups across school and and take part in 'their' SMART activity. The children have chosen their SMART groups themselves as something they think they are good at and enjoy!! They range from number smart, body smart, music smart, 2d/3d smart, practical smart, word smart and nature smart!! The children are collected by Year 6 children who take them to their groups and then they brought back safely to our classroom at the end of the 50 minute session which runs from 2:30-3:20 every Wednesday!! This is a great opportunity for the children to mix with the older children and for them to get to know other teachers as well as the school itself!!

It seemed to go really well today and most of the children came back really excited about what they had been doing! There were a few children that were a little apprehensive about going - but I'm sure that over the next few weeks as they get used to routine they will all be fine!!

Please ask your children about it and find out what they thought and if you have time to leave us a comment that would be great!! :)
