18.11.24 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone! 

Firstly, we just wanted to say how proud we were of the children on Monday when we all sat for the silence as part of our work about Remembrance. The children wore their poppies with pride. 

Secondly, thank you all for your kind donations for Children in Need today. The children looked fabulous in their bright clothes!

Now on to our learning for next week, we will be:

• Reading different versions of the story "Little Red Riding Hood" and talking about the different characters.
• Discussing whether Red Riding Hood did the right thing during our Circle Time.
• Continuing to learn the Phase 3 sounds in our Phonics sessions, completing the letters of the alphabet.
• Working on Number again in our Mathematics sessions, working with numbers to 5.
• Using our sounds to write a shopping list for Red Riding Hood.
• Carefully weaving paper strips, remembering the pattern of over, under, over, under, to create a basket effect.

There will be no drop in this week due to the Parent/Teacher consultations on Tuesday and Wednesday. These meetings will take place in the hall, please come into school via the entrance at the school office. 

Have a lovely weekend

11.11.24 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone, 

We have had a very busy 4 days!! Today the children will be bringing home the QR code for their school photo. If your child has a sibling in school then this code will also allow you to see the sibling photos. We have been really impressed with the children's recall of their sounds this week too - it has made us SO happy! Thank you to all of you for your support at home.

Now on to our learning for this coming week, we will be:

• Reading different versions of this week's story, "The Three Little Pigs".
• Building houses using different construction materials and then testing them against a big bad wolf!
• Starting Phase 3 in our Phonics sessions.
• Learning about some 2D shapes in our Mathematics sessions and going on a shape hunt to find them in our classrooms.
• Watching the CBeebies film "Poppies" and observing the 2 minute silence on Monday.

This week we will resume our drop in sessions after school. The drop in this week will be on MONDAY.

Have a lovely weekend, 

Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley

Hello everyone! 

We hope you have all had a lovely half term. We are looking forward to seeing the children again tomorrow and look forward to hearing all about what they have been doing during the break.

So here are our plans for the coming week, when we will be starting our new project with the traditional tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".

We will be:

• Reading different versions of the Goldilocks story.
• Creating some puppets of Goldilocks and the Bears to help us retell the story in our own words.
• Thinking about how to find 1 more and 1 less in our Mathematics sessions.
• Having a review week in our Phonics sessions, before we start on Phase 3.
• Continuing with our Start-Bee handwriting sessions, working on our patterns.
• Creating some fabulous firework pictures using different media.
• Creating some poppies for Remembrance, which we will then wear next Monday.

Drop in sessions will start again next week.

See you in the morning!
