Welcome back...

We hope you all had a great Christmas break!

This week we started our new project - Long Ago. We listened to the story The Toymaker and Lost In The Toy Museum.  We learnt about how toys from the past differ from toys we have today. We also did an observational drawing of one of the toys from the past by looking closely at the shape and details of the toys.

• 

•  In Phonics we learnt ‘y’ as ‘ee’ e.g. mummy, daddy, Bobby.  We have practised recognising the digraphs ai, oa, ie, ee/or in words.  It is really important to keep practising segmenting and blending the word box words as well as hearing your child read their Jolly Phonics book on a regular basis.

• Morning work has changed and all of the children are having a go at writing a cvc word to go with a picture e.g. map.As part of their phonics the children will be having a go at writing a short sentence/caption independently. 

• In maths this week we are continuing to talk about parts and whole. For example, the parts that make 3 are 2 and 1, 1 and 2 or 1 and 1 and 1. We will be looking at the parts and whole for numbers up to 5

• In RE the children are learning about New Year and different celebrations that take place. In RSHE the children will be learning the correct names for body parts. 

• Please can you make sure that your child has a pair of wellies in school so they can go on the field at lunchtime. Also they need a complete set of spare clothes on their peg just in case of accidents or getting wet/muddy outside. Please remember if these come home in a bag, can you replace them the following day as we do not have a lot of spares in school.  Please return their waterproof clothes too so they can go out when it is raining. 

• Have a good week!
