03.03.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello Everybody!

Thank you so much to all of you who worked with your child to discuss their ideas for our latest project, We have been enjoying reading their different ideas and finding out what they want to know about dinosaurs. Please don't worry if you've not had the chance to do this with your child, we are more than happy for them to come in next week. If you have mislaid your sheet please ask and we can pop another one in your child's bag or alternatively they are on our pages on the website. (A link was in last week's blog).

Next week is a busy week in school as the children will have their height and weight checks on Tuesday and it is World Book Day on Thursday. For World Book Day, the children can come dressed as their favourite character, or bring in a prop from their favourite book or just bring in their favourite book. 

Now onto our learning for the coming week, we will be:

• Sharing the book Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus! 
• Listening out for and writing a list of all the rhyming words in this week's text and learning how to play some rhyming games.
• Learning how to write in our new Maths books, by using one square for each number.
• Continuing to learn about consecutive consonants in our Phonics sessions, blending and segmenting words with 4 sounds. 
• Moving onto the phase "Building 9 and 10" in our Mathematics sessions. This week we will be working on our careful counting.
• Creating some robots, using junk modelling materials, just like Harry did in our story last week.

It has been lovely to start the term with some WOWs, please don't forget to ask if you need a new sheet.

Drop ins will start again this week and will be on FRIDAY.

Have a lovely weekend

Hello!

We hope you have all had a fabulous half term! We are looking forward to welcoming the children back tomorrow, for our next learning adventure! We are also looking forward to finding out their ideas for our new project "Dinosaurs". If you are unable to find the letters that came home before half term, then copies of them can be found here on the Early Years section of the website. 

On to our learning for the coming week, we will be:

• Sharing Harry and the Dinosaurs stories. We will be reading several of these, including "Harry and the Dinosaurs go to School" and "Harry and the Robots".
• Discussing the story "Harry and the Robots" and thinking about the ways we take care of each other.
• Labelling different parts of one of Harry's robots, using our sounds to help spell the words we need to write.
• Thinking about the days of the week and ordering and sequencing periods of time in our Mathematics sessions.
• Learning the definitions of 5 more words in our Vocabulary Ninja sessions.
• Starting our next JIGSAW puzzle piece for PSHE - "Healthy Me".

Our drop in session this week will be on THURSDAY.

See you in the morning!

10.02.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

What a very busy time week in school! We have been exceptionally proud of how well all of our children have represented our school during this time. They are truly amazing! This is why both Buttercup and Snowdrop classes are ALL pupils of the week!

This coming Friday is going to be a very exciting day as it will mark 100 days since we started school! Mrs Wood has said we can have a little party to celebrate - we are even getting a special cake! As it also our Wellbeing day, the children do not need to wear uniform, they can come in party clothes or comfy clothes (which ever they prefer). We just ask that they are able to do PE in whatever they are wearing.

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

• Sharing the story "Stuck", this is a very silly story about a little boy called Floyd and how his kite got stuck in a tree.
• Comparing objects by their length and height in our Mathematics sessions.
• Sharing the book "How Long is a Whale?" and using it to help us compare different sea animals by their length.
• Comparing how tall we are compared with an Emperor Penguin.
• Writing some facts about polar animals
• Updating the name displays in our classrooms and thinking about how much they have improved. 
• Celebrating 100 days in school on Friday!

Drop in this week will be on TUESDAY.

Have a lovely weekend
