Autumn 2024

Week beginning Monday 7th October 2024

This week's sounds: l h r j 

What a lovely sunny end to the week we have had! Forest school was great fun, we made lavender perfume, pierced holes in conkers and threaded them onto string, made leaf wolves and leaf rubbings. We also took the bikes out and worked together to help each other going round the track. In class this week some children made a pizza shop, some made a bridge and trip trapped over it to avoid the troll, we had car ramps to see how far the cars would go and we made 3D shapes with foam blocks. Plus a whole lot of other stuff too! 

Our drawing club story this week was the Three Billy Goats Gruff and in maths we have looked at the capacity of boxes and cups and had fun pouring cups of juice full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty and empty. 

Week beginning Monday 30th September 2024

This week's sounds: u b f e 

We had a fantastic sunny on the field this morning for forest school! The children had the challenge of pouring water along gutters, catching it at the other end and returning it to the start. They also did bark rubbings, explored the giant balance scales and we had a huge game of 1, 2, 3, where are you? (A bit like hide and seek.) 

Photos to follow soon!

Fantastic resources to support learning at home

Learning to read with phonics - watch information videos and hear how to say each sound

 Phonics Play -  a great website to play games to practice the sounds we have learnt in school
