31.01.22 - This coming week in Early Years

 Hello everyone!

This week we have added the Numberblocks 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to our display in class. We have enjoyed learning about each of these numbers and have talked about how, in each of the episodes we watched, 1 more was added to create the next number. 

Next week sees the start of Chinese New Year, so this will be the main focus for our learning, we will be:

• Learning about Chinese New Year. This year it is the year of the Tiger.
• Sharing the story "The Great Race" to find out all about the Chinese Zodiac and how each year is named after an animal.
• Finding out about how Chinese New Year is celebrated and also watching some Dragon dancing.
• Making our own Chinese Dragons.
• Learning 5 new Vocabulary Ninja words.
• Learning about addition in our Mathematics sessions.

This week we will be having a review week in Phonics to support the children with their recall of our digraphs and the tricky words he, she, me, we and be. These words have also been sent home today.

It was lovely to see that some of the children took up the matchbox challenge last week, we really enjoyed sharing the photos in class. If any of the children still want to try, then please do - it doesn't need to be a matchbox, just a small lidded box. 

Finally, please remember that I am always contactable via email, please use earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.

Have a lovely weekend

Miss Wakefield
