20.11.23 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

This week we started Phase 3 in our Phonics sessions and learnt our 4th Rainbow Word. The children will have brought the 4 Rainbow Words home with them yesterday. These words are sight words that the children need to learn as they cannot be sounded out. The children have also brought home a coloured band reading book this week. These will be changed on a weekly basis, but not always on the same day. We would therefore be really grateful if reading books and reading diaries could be in the children's bags each day. 


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.

  • Tuesday 21st November - Flu Immunisations.
  • Thursday 23rd November - School photographs - individual and sibling photographs will be taken, you do not need to ask for the sibling photo to be taken, this will be done automatically.

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.
  • Thinking about the numbers 4 and 5 in our Mathematics sessions; finding ways to make them, recognising the numerals and finding 1 more or 1 less than them.
  • 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.
  • Starting to make the decorations for our Christmas Tree, in readiness for the Christmas Tree Festival at Holy Trinity Church the following week.
This week's drop in will be on TUESDAY.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
