This week we particpated in Odd Sock Day, it was amazing to see all the different socks, which led on to our discussion about how we are all unique. Today we have had a lovely day raising money for Children in Need. It has been a busy, fun packed day. We will have a total for the amount raised next week.
The children have brought home their last sets of sounds for Phase 2. We have now learnt all of the Phase 2 sounds and will be having a consolidation week next week, before moving on to the start of Phase 3. Many thanks to all of you for supporting your child with their Phonics at home.
On to our learning for next week, we will be:
- Reading the story "Each Peach Pear Plum" and trying to identify all the different nursery rhyme and story book characters.
- Identifying the rhyming words in our story and making a list of rhyming words.
- Starting our new phase in Mathematics, "Light and Dark", finding different ways to make 4 and 5 using our new 10 frames and counters,
- Trying to learn the rhyme in the book, working on our memory skills!
- Learning how to use our lightboxes to help us write our names during our Start-Bee sessions.
- Working on our scissor skills by cutting out the different characters and then creating our own version of the final picture in the story.
Home Learning Ideas:
Some great success after last week's home learning with some of the children becoming experts in doing up their coats. Well done!
This week you might like to try one of these ideas.
- Play an I-Spy game. This could be in your house, the garden, in the car or anywhere! You could use your sounds to see if any of your family can spot something beginning with the sound you pick.
- Play a hide and seek game with a teddy at home, can you try to find it from the clues.
- Share the story together and talk about your favourite characters. A copy of the story can be found here.
Home Learning
If your child is unable to attend school but is feeling well and you are looking for work to complete then please visit the Children's Hub page on our school website. This contains links to our Big Cat e-library, Phonics Play and White Rose Maths. You can find it here. I am also happy to send things which will link to our work for that week. Please just drop me an email using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.
Have a lovely weekend and take care
