This week in phonics we were learning to segment the sounds
in words by robot talking. The children met the class bears Cyril squirrel and
Henry Hedgehog and had to robot talk the items in the bears bags so that they
could hear all the sounds in the words. By doing so, the children have been
learning to identify each separate sound in the words.
We have been enjoying exploring the woodland this week, the
children have been learning how to independently put on their puddle suits and
wellies. On the woodland they have been doing some bird watching, making mud
pies, building with large construction materials and taking in turns to use the
swing. On colder days we will be taking the children into the yurt.
On Tuesday afternoon we learnt about Diwali and what Hindus
do to celebrate this festival of light. Please ask your child what they
remember about Diwali.
We had a great time on Monday when the pre school leaders
came to visit! The children listened to them read a story and enjoyed some
juice and popcorn.
On Thursday morning we went on a number walk. We enjoyed
looking for signs of Autumn and numbers in the environment. If you are out and
about over the half term, maybe you could help your child find their house
group leaf. The houses are: Maple, Oak, Sycamore and Birch.
Please make sure that after half term your child has a book
bag in school every day, spare socks for welly changing and a coat with a hood.
