Hello everyone!
Another lovely week in Early Years. Mr Attfield has now finished the swimming lessons - these will return in the Summer Term. He has commented on how impressed he was with everyone and how well they did over the 4 sessions.
The children have brought home the next 4 sounds this week, along with some flashcards again. These flashcards are suggested words that the children could have a go at reading or making with their cards. We would ask that you encourage the children to use their sounds to read, rather than learn the flashcards as sight words.
On to our learning for this coming week, we will be:
- Sharing the story "Pumpkin Soup" about the Cat, the Duck and the Squirrel and talking about how they behaved towards each other in the story.
- Talking about pumpkins, using our different senses.
- Seeing how many seeds there are inside a pumpkin and counting them carefully.
- Learning the next set of sounds in our Phonics sessions.
- Continuing and creating repeating patterns in our Mathematics sessions.
- Electing our school councillors for Pearl and Quartz.
- Bringing home our Christmas card designs on Friday.
We are looking forward to seeing you all next week for our Parent / Teacher consultations. The meetings will take place in the school hall, you will need to enter school via the main entrance (on Brooklyn Drive), however all gates will be open. There will be no drop in next week due to these meetings, drop in sessions will continue next half term.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
