This week we have…

This Week's Theme: We have been exploring our interests, what we like and do not like and even though we might like different things to our friends, that’s ok! We can still have amazing friendships and experiences with them.

Literacy: The children created fantastic self-portraits using oil pastels and a mirror. We practised our oracy by using different sentences starters “I have…”, “I can see…”. Owls loved looking at each other’s pictures and guessing who was who! We then stuck our portraits in our literacy books our fact files all about us.

Numeracy: The number for this week was 2, the children have been finding examples all around our classroom and really have a solid grasp of where we can see 2 in our everyday lives. We have also been measuring an object’s height using the key vocab ‘tall and short’. Whilst you are out this weekend with your family you could play a game, who can spot the tallest building?

Next week we will…

Next week we will be looking at what it means to be kind. Our key text will be ‘The Smartest Giant in Town” by Julia Donaldson. It is important that we show our friends and family kindness, treating them as we would like to be treated ourselves. This is why we will be creating a thank you card just like the one George the Giant received from his friends.

In Phonics, we will be introducing our special friends sounds, when two letters come together to make one sound!

After a nature walk in our forest area, we will be describing the things we saw, smelt and heard and introduce our new artist: Andy Goldsworthy.

We will be creating simple reoccurring patterns using different media and natural resources. Our number of the week: 3 will be making an appearance, maybe you can thing of traditional tales that involve this number?

 Finally, the spooky season is upon us so this week lots of our busy time activities will be centred around Halloween fun with creepy pumpkin counting and phantom phonics!
