Thank you to all the families who joined us in iCAN PLAY and Nursery for our COME AND PLAY DAY and Reception for
Family Learning Day! It was great to see so many families joining their children for learning.
Learning Journey This week we have been learning about air transport. We looked at non-fiction video clips and books on aeroplanes and airports, helicopters and hot air balloons. In art and craft we made aeroplanes with toilet rolls and decorated hot air balloons with buttons. We also enjoyed listening to stories and singing the Up, Up, Up in a Balloon song. | |
MATHS In maths the learners enjoyed making number puzzles. We have also been measuring vehicles with cubes and paper clips. We have been practising our counting skills with number rhymes, songs and counters. | LITERACY In our phonics sessions we will continue tuning into sounds using various games and resources such as ‘Metal Mike’ and flash cards. We will also continue to play games to help us learn rhyming words. |
This week we have been looking at the dinosaur Stegosaurus. We looked at the features of a stegosaurus and tried hard to describe them. We made a large collage stegosaurus and tried our best to write words and sentences about a stegosaurus. We stuck pasta for bones onto dinosaurs and been looking at lots of new vocabulary linked with dinosaurs and palaeontologists.
In maths we have been sorting smallest to biggest dinosaurs and have been learning about doubling numbers.
In phonics - Ms. Niumai’s group have been recapping phase 1 phonics.
Ms. Gemma’s group are looking at new tricky words and diagraphs /ng/ and /ai/.
Ms. Vijaya’s group are blending CVC words.
We have been practising using wow words in sentences for Big Talk. In guided reading we now sit and read in groups, reading and discussing stories, which are building our comprehension and understanding skills.
We have been busy drawing dinosaurs and writing the names of them in our writing journals this week.
We will be working on our personal goal: RESPECTFUL. We have discussed the meaning of being respectful and how we can work on being respectful at school and at home. We are also thinking of International Happiness Day for next week and what makes us happy and how we can make others happy. What makes you happy? How can you make others happy? | |
