Hello again,
The weather has really changed this week. Very Autumnal which helps with our change of seasons discussions.
In a few weeks we will be asking for you to bring in a small Autumn bag of items found on a walk.
In phonics as have learnt i n p g o videos are on teams this Friday if your child is not secure with these.
In math's we have been sorting objects and saying the rule.
We made robots with the sorted objects.
We have been learning about senses and that are important to keeping us safe, for example when crossing the roads
'looking and listening'. 'taste so we know when things taste bad'
We have made a college this week and used are sense of touch.
In the woods we found herbs and smelt mint which reminded us of tooth paste.
Here are a few highlights.

Friendship soup

I have put the RWI teaching of the first 5 sounds onto Teams homework assessment for you to look through. If your child can recognise the 5 sounds they will not need to watch them.

Welcome class of 2024-25.
What a super first week the children have had. They have settled so well in the smaller groups and we look forward to seeing them all together next week.
Here I will post weekly photos and information about the weeks learning.
This is Blog is not for home work but the first 6 weeks I will put on what sounds we have taught in our RWI phonics sessions starting on Monday the 16th September
. I will then post on Micro soft Teams (when you get your 'logins)' a virtual fun 5 minute recap of the session to re-enforce the sounds at home. On this I also put on a book of the week to watch which helps your child prepare for the following week.
Next week we will have a full class of 30 children. It will be a settling in week and learning all the rules routine and making sure lunch time is a happy time and children eat their delicious lunches.
Thank you for your support at home.

We have had a fantastic year teaching your children.
Thank you for all your support at home this year its has made a huge help to your child.
I have popped a small packet of seeds into your child's red folder of work which you will find in their bags.
On the back of this packet, I have written the colour the Read Write Inc your child is working on.
This is only for RWI and not other schemes.
'Songbirds' and some floppy Phonics books also nice to read. As long as they are enjoying it that's the main thing.
Please take a look then you can go onto the 'Oxford Owl' website link.
FREE to sign up and FREE books to read on here.
Please look on Microsoft Teams for all this information.
I have also added the links for all the 'Special Friends' for the sounds taught to date. This comes live on Friday 19th. You have 3 months to look thought these short session with your child. The are fun and last 8 minutes each sound. One a day would be great to help you child remember them maximum 5 a week.
For Maths you can down load the FREE' White Rose one minute Maths' app . This has plenty quick quizzes to do to keep the children sharp with their new subitising skills. Remember Counting is not Calculating.
Have a fantastic holiday and we will miss you all.
Mrs Oddy, Mrs Hemingway and Mrs Pearce.
