Autumn 1 Week 5

Our story this week was The Rainbow Fish. The story is about friendships. We talked about what makes a good friend. The children made their own fishes where they drew around their hand, cut them out and decorated them. They made friendship bracelets for their friends and they made a sea scene with different sea creatures in. Then we made a recipe for friendships, we added kindness, happiness, fun, caring, and helpfulness to our bowl and mixed it together to help us remember what a good friend is.

In Maths, we have been learning about the numbers 1, 2 and 3. The children have been playing games, threading numbers and finding objects to help them have a secure understanding of the numbers.

In Phonics, we learnt the sounds m, d and g. The children read words with those sounds in. Some of the letters can be difficult to write so please practise with the children over the weekend.

The children got their reading books this week. The library book is for you to read to your child. If you child has a reading book with no words, encourage them to talk about the pictures, ask them questions and retell what is happening.

In Religion, we have been learning about Baptism. We looked a photos of when the children were baptised. The children learnt that when we are baptised we are join Jesus’ family. They acted out baptising a doll. Please talk to your children about their baptism, show them their baptismal candle and tell them who their Godparents are.

Have a lovely weekend
