This week our learning has been focused around the question “What makes a good friend?”. Our book of the week was “Rainbow Fish” and we discussed how the Rainbow Fish and his friends felt throughout the story. The children were pleased that Rainbow Fish turned into a good friend and shared his scales! The children have been trying really hard all week to be good friends - we are so proud of them. After we learnt to name the 3 primary colours last week, this week we have explored what happens when we mix them. We have practised a song called “Mixing Colours” to the tune of ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ to help us remember how to make the secondary colours – can your child tell you which primary colours make purple, green and orange? We have also discussed the ways in which we are the same and different to our friends. Our activities this week included printing with celery in the painting area, rolling the dice subitising the number of dots and carefully counting out the correct number of scales and in our funky finger area this week we have been making friendship bracelets for our friends! In RWI, Reception children have continued to practise oral blending through Fred Talk, they have been working hard to form taught letters/sounds correctly in books and our Y1 children have been accessing RWI groups with the rest of KS1 children at their appropriate level. In Literacy, Y1 children have continued to practise forming letters correctly and reading and writing tricky red words.
In Maths, Reception children have been focusing on counting, cardinality (the knowledge of how many things are in a set and the number name for that quantity) and ordinality. Our Y1 children have continued practising counting to 100 using a Gattegno chart. We have started our Science unit on materials – we been naming materials and describing their properties. Our Y1 children have accessed their second Computing lessons – they were able to identify the parts of a computer, log on and use the mouse to click and drag parts of jigsaw puzzles!
