Weekly Update - 18th October 2018
Miss Oates and Mrs Pawson - 18 Oct 2018
There has been lots of excitement today in the classroom as we have been making bread! The children have been very keen to make bread again but this time we have added some new flavours. They may have brought some home tonight if they didn't eat it all in class! We really enjoyed looking inside a garlic bulb but not all of us were sure on the smell.
In our number investigations this week we have been exploring number 4. The children have been great at spotting when there is the amount of '4' and are gaining a good sense of number. We have also been looking at ways of making 4 and have been using songs to help us with counting.
Our new sounds this week have been o, c, k and ck. We noticed that 'ck' was a digraph because it had two letters making just one sound. We also noticed that c, k and ck are all making the same sound but there are just different ways of writing them. Writing our letters is very tricky, especially when we are trying to write in our 'bottoms-up' cursive style but there has been lots of effort with this. Writing in a cursive style helps us with pace when we're older. Building up our gross motor skills is important for this - we have talked to lots of you about this at learning reviews but please ask us if you want more information.
Thank you to everyone who has attended their child's learning review so far - we are looking forward to welcoming everyone else next week. Please bring your child along with you to this meeting.
Don't forget to join us for our celebration assmebly tomorrow afternoon at 2:45pm in the shcool hall.
