We hope you had a lovely half term and enjoyed time together as a family.  We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday 3rd November. 

This week in school we will be celebrating Bonfire Night. The children will be labelling a picture using their known GPCs, in literacy, using a correct pencil grip.  They will also be word building using magnetic letters, identifying initial sounds, creating firework pictures using loose materials and using the computers to create a digital firework picture.  In the outside classroom, the children will be using chalks to create large scale firework pictures, making sparkler sticks and will be using junk materials to explore their own fireworks.

In maths, the focus will be on counting, ordinality and cardinality.  The children will be developing 1 to 1 correspondence when counting, matching numerals to the correct number of objects, collecting a given number of objects, playing skittles identifying how many are knocked over and how many left standing.  The children will develop an understanding when counting that the last number they say is how many there are altogether.
 

In phonics, we will be learning v (volcano),  w (wave), x (box) and y (yo-yo). We will be learning the new tricky words and, has, his and her.

Reading will be on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and children need their reading folders each day.  They will choose a new book for the reading challenge on a Friday.
 

Rhyme of the week: Three Blind Mice

PE: Please send children to school in their PE kit on a Thursday and Friday. 

Please send your child with a coat every day as we use the outside classroom every day and will be outside for playtimes and lunchtimes.
