This week in Reception we have enjoyed learning our first four sounds /s/a/t/p/ in phonics and the children have been given their new sounds books to practise at home. Please also help your child to look out for this week’s sounds when reading. In Maths we have continued with our number of the day and we have learnt all about the numbers 7, 8 and 9. The children have enjoyed using the maths and sounds tables to continue to explore all about the number and letter of the day during enhanced provision.
We have introduced the children to our new topic, ‘Why do Squirrels hide their nuts’ and explained that we will be learning all about their class animals. We look forward to hearing about the facts the children have found out about their class animals when we start our show and tell sessions next week.
On Thursday we had an exciting visit from the Author Nick Butterworth who wrote the ‘Percy and the Park Keeper’ series. He read us his first ever book called 'One Snowy Night' which was set in the park in Percy's hut. This fitted nicely with our new topic and he even signed a copy 'The Hedgehog' story from Hedgehogs reading garden.
We are pleased that our apprentice teacher Michelle Page will be taking the Hedgehogs class on Monday afternoons and is looking forward to meeting some of you at our first stay and play session on Monday 4th November at 2pm. The second stay and play session is next Thursday 8th October at 2pm.
Now the children are settled in, we will be doing the shaker at 9am ready to start the school day so please ensure your child is in school on time.
