Hello Parents/carers,
We have had a lovely week, as the children are becoming accustomed to the new routines and activities. They are extremely good at tidying up. We put a song on and by the time the song has finished they have completely cleared away!
We have learned our number bonds to ten this week and how to find one more!
In English we have created labels for our toy museum, made captions for animals and written a class story that uses repetition.
We have been learning about animals and that some live in water, some on land and some both. The children successfully completed a Venn diagram to show this information.
Next week we will be learning how to count to 100. We will find one more and one less that an number to 18. We will be counting on and back.
We start a new book on Monday. This week's book is 'Voices in the Park' by Anthony Browne. The theme will be to focus on what we do in parks. The children will be making lists, identifying and naming feelings, creating a class story map, using captions and sequencing sentences.
We will be looking at the toys that were popular in different decades, as the children learn and understand how long a decade is. We will be focussing on the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.
For our science lesson we will be becoming familiar with finding names for different fish, amphibians, reptiles birds and mammals. This will develop into a sorting activity.
For RE the children will be thinking about harvest time and how different religions have different ways of celebrating harvest. I will be asking the children how they would like to celebrate harvest in our classroom and we will make plans!
In the PSHE lesson we will be focussing on rules and responsibilities. This will be followed by a mindfulness session as the children learn different techniques to find a calm place.
I hope you all have a restful weekend.
YDavis
