This week...

in project we explore colour mixing - the children painted their hands and mixed one of their hands with a friends to make a new colour. We also discussed similarities and differences between us and our friends and children around the world. The stories we read in project were: 

 

 

  

We have been playing a variety of games over the past couple of weeks to help us with our listening skills, concentration and following instructions  as well as games to help us to focus. 

The children that know the first 6 sounds have been given a book and the level of that book depends on how their blending skills are. We will hear the children read once a week and change their book then. Please try to read a little every day with your child at home so they can really embed these early reading skills.  Please write in their reading record book when you have heard them read. 

This week we have covered the sounds:  n,ck,e,h,r.  Please remember to look at the Jolly Phonics app for actions and songs to go with each sound.  The link was posted in last weeks blog.

We have also been practising writing our names.  Please can you carry on supporting your child at home with this, especially forming the letters correctly.  

In maths we sang the counting song - 1,2,3,4,5, Once I caught a Fish Alive and practised our counting skills.  We focussed on developing our 1:1 correspondence by counting numbers at the same time as moving or tapping objects.  The children enjoyed telling Number Wumber how to do this.
