Autumn 1 Week 4

This week, we have been learning about feelings. We read the story The Colour Monster and discussed the different feelings that we have. The children have been drawing things that make them happy, sad and scared. They have made their own colour monsters using junk modelling and have been learning to mix colours to make other colours.

In Phonics, we have learnt the sounds t, p, i and n. Please practise writing and saying the sound. Complete the sheets in their Phonics Book. We are also learning to read the tricky word a.

We have been using the sounds that we have learnt to read words with those sounds. e.g: tip, pin, it

In Maths, we have been learning about pairs, matching, sorting and comparing. The children have been developing their vocabulary and using a variety of resources to demonstrate their understanding.

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Class Act of Worship. The children prayed and sang beautifully. It has been great to watch their confidence grow to take part in our acts of worship.

In Religion, we have been learning about the Creation story. Today we thought about what we can do to look after our world. The children made posters to encourage people to recycle and pick up litter. We thought about walking or cycling to school. The children looked in the water tray to identify dangers for the animals who live in the water. We discussed about the effect our rubbish can have on animals.

On Friday, the children went to their first whole school assembly. They were excellent! Well done Reception.

If you child does not have wellies at school, please send them in.

Have a lovely weekend
