My Day

Our topic this week has been “My Day” We have enjoyed listening to the story of The Tiger who came to Tea, and the unusual events that happened on the day in the story. The children thought about what would happen if a different animal came for tea, such as a Kangaroo jumping all over the house. Later in the week we also shared the story of The Bad Tempered Ladybird and looked at the events that happened over the day and how the time changes.  We have also ordered events in our school day and referred to our class timetable to show how the activities we do happen at certain times of the day as part of our daily routines.
We asked the children about days that they have enjoyed. If you have photos of a special day that your child could talk about it would greatly help with our topic if you could share one on Seesaw or bring into school. This is that we can encourage talk about special places and develop vocabulary around this.
Our activities have included making tiger patterns and ladybirds, linked to our stories. As using the small clocks to show changes in o’clock times.
This week we have been having a push on ensuring that we are using manners when asking for our dinners in the dining hall. We have to say that by the end of the week we were very impressed with the number of children who were ensuring they said thank you when receiving their lunches.
In maths we have been focussing on subertising. This is the ability to be able to say how many is in a small arrangement of pictures or objects up to 5, without the need to count them. This is something we will practise throughout the year so that the children have mastered this by the end of the summer term. Our number this week has been number 4.
 
In phonics, we have continued to learn new sounds and the corresponding handwriting phrase. Some of us have continued to blend to read words and used magnetic letters and boards to write words.
Next week our learning is about “When I grow up.” It  is also Diversity week next week so there will be lots of stories and  talk about diversity, inclusion and accepting others.
