Autumn 2 Week 3
This week we have been learning about the Jewish celebration called Hanukkah. The children made menorahs with their hand prints. They wrote sentences about the celebration and drew pictures of a synagogue.
We read the story Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. The children acted out the story using props. They made rockets and wrote sentences about the story. They had lots of fun role playing in the Space Station and pretending to be astronauts.
In Maths, we have been learning about patterns. The children have been making repeated patterns using a variety of resources. Can you make a pattern at home with some objects in your house?
In phonics, we have learnt the sounds l, ll, ss and ff. Our tricky word this week was into. We have finished the phase 2 phonics so please practise all the sounds in their phonics book. If you say the sound and ask the children to write the sound, also ask the children to read the sound.
We were very excited to see snow so we collected some ice in the playground and talked about why the snow turned into ice.
We have been busy practising the class nativity. Children took a letter home about their costume. Please send the costumes in by Wednesday 27th November. All clothes should have the child’s name on and the bag should be labelled too. Mary and the angels should have white leggings and a white top. All the other parts need a black top and black leggings/trousers.
Have a wonderful weekend.
