This week we have…
Everyone has settled beautifully into our routine in Owls Class, for our first full week in school I could not be prouder of how respectful and enthusiastic the children have been, getting involved with every activity we do.
We have been exploring counting to 10 and beyond by helping the Worrysaurus to get ready for his yummy picnic and discussing what we would put in our Worrysaurus tins to help us chase away the butterflies when we feel nervous.
Our morning rainbow challenges and the dough disco has been a fantastic way for the children to get ready for their Phonics lessons by waking up our writing muscles! This week we have covered the following sounds:
m, a, s, d, t
(Friday 16th: Today we will send out a homework sheets in the children’s bag to practise their new sounds over the weekend as we are still awaiting our reading diaries).
Thank you to everyone who attended the ‘Meet the Teacher’ meeting on Wednesday evening, it was lovely talking to you about the fun things we are cooking up in Reception! I have attached the PowerPoint used for those who were unable to attend. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the information provided at the meeting.
Next week we will…
As part of our ‘Magical Me!’ topic we will be looking at the different parts of our bodies. Using our words of the week in Literacy to describe our very own colour monsters! As our key text for this week is 'The Colour Monster', we will be creating new colours by mixing different paints together.
In Maths we will be practising our super speedy subitising skills in a game of snap! In phonics we will be continuing to practise our sounds from the previous week as well as learning 5 new sounds.
Please remember the school will be closed on Monday 19th September due to the Queen’s Funeral.
Update: Unfortunately I am still awaiting verification of our Class Dojo howeer as soon as I have this I will be sending out the invites for you all to access this.
And finally, have a lovely weekend! As always if you have questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact or speak with us.
Many thanks,
Miss Dalby, Mrs Hoskins and Mrs Rathbone.
