02.03.26 - 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 Wednesday and it is World Book Day on Thursday. (Further information is below).

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.
• Writing numbers to 10 in our Maths books, learning how to use one square for one digit.
• 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 a special World Book Day bookmark and enjoying the day together on Thursday.
• Finishing the lovely robots, which we started last week and adding them to our display.

Now a message about World Book Day from Miss Harvey:

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.
• Starting our next JIGSAW puzzle piece for PSHE - "Healthy Me".
• Enjoying our next Forest School session on Thursday.

Our drop in session this week will be on THURSDAY.

See you in the morning!

Happy February Half Term!

Hello everyone!

We had a fantastic time yesterday, celebrating our 100th day in school. We are SO proud of the children and how much they have achieved in those 100 days. 

Next half term, we will start our next project "Dinosaurs". There is a project letter which will give you a little more information and there is also a sheet for the children to complete, to give us their ideas for this project. These letters can be found in your child's reading folder. We would be very grateful if you could complete this with your child as we use the children's ideas to inform our future planning. The letters have also bee added to the Early Years part of the school website, under the "Our Projects" tab. 

The next blog will be on Monday 23rd February to let you know about our first week back. Don't forget the children return to school on Tuesday 24th February due to our INSET day. 

Have a lovely break!

• Learning about Chinese New Year. This year it is the year of the Horse.
• Sharing the story "The Great Race" to find out all about the Chinese Zodiac and how each year is named after an animal.
