21.11.22 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

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 sounds for this phase and will now spend some time consolidating before moving on. Many thanks to all of you for supporting your child with their Phonics at home as we have seen the impact!

Upcoming Events

As we approach a busy time of year there is an increasing number of events coming up. We thought it might be helpful if we added them to the blog each week. Further information is always in the newsletter.

  • Friday 25th November - Non-uniform day for the PTA, suggested donation of £1 OR some chocolate to go towards the tombola at the Christmas Bazaar.
  • Tuesday 29th November - Flu Immunisations
  • Friday 2nd December - Movie Night for EYFS and KS1
  • Friday 9th December - Christmas Jumper Day*

*The PTA will be holding a Christmas Jumper Sale on 25th November if you need a new festive jumper!

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 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.
This week's drop in will be on MONDAY.

In addition to the Maths homework we would be really grateful if you could help your child practise doing up their coat. With the change in weather this week we have lost minutes of our playtime as it is taking a long time, even with 3 adults, to do the children's coats. 

Thank you for your support, we hope you have a lovely weekend.
