  • Jam Sandwiches

    Published 27/11/20, by Sarah Mellor

    After reading the story 'Pass the Jam Jim' by Kaye Umansky, the children made their own jam sandwiches  (with just one slice of bread each) to eat after their Welly Wednesday expeditions.  We were so impressed with their sequencing, concentration and fine motor skills during the activity.  We challenged them further to make a triangle or square sandwich.  Perhaps they would like to make a sandwich for you this weekend!

    Thank you for your continued support with practising phonic sheets and reading at home.  The children have been working so hard during their phonic lessons and we're really proud of them all.

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

    Take care.

  • Vegetables and more!

    Published 21/11/20, by Sarah Mellor

    This week we have continued exploring different vegetables through the story 'Oliver's Vegetables', by Vivian French, and printing with, looking closely at and cutting up different vegetables. We finished the week by creating pizzas with our favourite, healthy toppings.

    In maths we have have investigated the properties of circles and triangles. You could ask your child how they know that a circle is a circle, or that a triangle is a triangle.  Hopefully they will be able to use the words: sides, curved, straight, edges and points in their explanations.

  • Can You Eat a Rainbow?

    Published 14/11/20, by Sarah Mellor

    This week we launched our new healthy eating topic by looking at the wonderful colours of different fruit and vegetables. We have been reading the delightful story of friendship and sharing, 'Too Many Carrots' by Katy Hudson, which lead us into making our own carrot pictures, look close up at different  colour carrots, make a carrot and vegetable soup to share and talk about how carrots are grown.

    There's a nice link to the story here: https://youtu.be/KPO67VgY2gM

    Following our half term phonic assessments we have grouped the children according to their needs and will continue with our daily phonics teaching.

    From this week your child will also have a specific reading day. This is where they will have a one to one reading session and swap their colour  books and phonic focus (this may be letter sounds, word time sheets, a Ditty or a book).

    The colour groups and days are as follows

    Monday- Yellow

    Tuesday- Green

    Thursday- Red

    Friday - Blue

    We hope you are all able to access the information that goes onto  Seesaw. Any problems please send a message to the class email.

    Many thanks for your continued support.

  • Welcome Back With a Bang!

    Published 07/11/20, by Sarah Mellor

     

    Welcome back everyone! It's been great to welcome the children back this week and lovely to see so many smiles in the classroom.   The whole team are pleased that schools remain open in these uncertain times as we know how important it is to the children's development and wellbeing. 

    We've been getting creative making firework displays this week (please see photos below). 

    In literacy we have been listening, learning and retelling the story 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. During 'Welly Wednesday' the children went hunting for the Troll! Below is a story map incase your child would like to retell you the story at home. 

    In maths we have been exploring the numbers 1,2 and 3 (representing, comparing and spotting patterns).

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
