Autumn 2 Week 2

This week was anti-bullying week. We spoke about what bullying is and what we should do if we think we are being bullied. The children wrote names in a hand print of the people they could tell if they were feeling sad. We read the story The Ugly Duckling and talked about the duck being bullied because he looked different. We all look different but we should treat everyone the same. Then we did some hot seating where the children pretended they were a character and the others asked them questions. The children made beautiful swans and nests for the ducklings. We had some amazing writing about the ducklings, the children are using their phonic knowledge to write words.

 

In Maths, we have been learning about capacity. We have been comparing containers, estimating which containers would hold more or less and measuring using cups.

 

In our Phonics lessons, we have learnt the tricky word to. We have also learnt the sounds r, h, b and f. Please continue to practise at home.

On Friday, we thought about what we are good at. We made mirrors, decorated them and added them to our display about what we are good at. We then thought about the things we would like to be able to do and how we should keep trying until we can do something.

Some of the children have been given lines to learn for the Christmas Play. Please practise with your child and we will continue to practise at school. The children are enjoying learning the songs and the dances.

Have a wonderful weekend.
