23.01.23 - This year in Early Years

Hello everyone!

This week we have finished learning the letters of the alphabet in our Phonics sessions and will be moving on to the consonant digraphs next week. We have sent home 2 sets of sounds this week to reflect this. It would be really helpful if you could play games with these cards, for example creating some of the words listed and asking your child to blend the sounds to read the word or saying a word and asking your child to segment it and word build using the sound cards. These are skills that we work on everyday in our sessions as they are the building blocks to successful Reading and Writing.

This Sunday 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 Rabbit.
  • 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.
  • Learning 5 new Vocabulary Ninja words.
  • Comparing objects by their mass or capacity in our Mathematics sessions.

This week's drop in will be on TUESDAY.

Have a lovely weekend
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
