Hello Everybody!
Well for a 4 day week, that was a very busy one! We welcomed a new member into Pearl Class and enjoyed spending time with each other again.
This week most of the children have completed a language screening activity, working with Mrs Fincham. I have also done another sound check, to ensure we are ready to move on in our Phonics. This has meant that we were unable to hear the children read. Reading will resume next week, but please don't forget the children have got their Big Cat e-book library if they want to try a different text.
Thank you so much to all of you who worked with their child to discuss their ideas for our latest project, I've been enjoying reading their different ideas and finding out what they want to know about dinosaurs. If your child hasn't returned their sheet yet, please don't worry, just return it next week.
Now onto our learning for the coming week, we will be:
- Sharing the book Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus!
- Listening out for and writing a list of all the rhyming words in this week's text.
- Learning 4 new sounds in our Phonics sessions, I have told the children the special name we call these sounds....I wonder if any of them have told you! We will also learn 3 new tricky words.
- Continuing with our work in the phase "Alive in 5!" in our Mathematics sessions. This week we will be finding different ways to make 5 by grouping.
- Creating our very own Rumpus in the garden, seeing if we can move as well as the dinosaurs did!
It has been lovely to start the term with some WOWs, please don't forget you can always email me a WOW, or indeed ask me any questions using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com and I will get back to you.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Miss Wakefield
