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:

This year is the National Year of Reading, so we will be celebrating World Book Day for the whole day. Please come in wearing a costume to show your favourite book character. If you do not want to dress up, you can bring your favourite book in or a prop to give us a clue.
Here is a competition you can take part in:
