We have had another busy week in Grasshopper Class! It has been Rainbow Week this week and we have read a story called Mrs Rainbow. Mrs Rainbow loved all different colours and we do too - so we have spent this week being really colourful! We have made kites and rainbow rings to fly outside BUT the weather has been horrible and wet so we haven't had much time to fly them!
We have been thinking about where we live and what sort of house we live in as well. We liked the rainbow houses in the story so we made our own rainbow street. Which house would you like to live in? Mrs Young thinks the straw hut looks like a cosy home but Mrs Ball prefers the tall, colourful house and Miss Carter would like to live in the house on stilts!
We have been practising our Christmas play all week and it has been really hard work! We have worked so hard on the songs - Mrs Young thinks we are fabulous at singing Away in a Manger! It is really tricky but we know all the words now and everyone is joining in. The stars have been practising their dance too and Bailey has been doing some fantastic acting!
We have had time to do some learning as well. We have been counting backwards from 20, adding numbers together and ordering numbers. In phonics we have learnt another 4 sounds and are getting really good at segmenting the sounds to spell. Keep on practising those tricky words at home. We have even written some sentences and learnt about a full stop!
Maths Games
Because it's been so wet outside we have played with water a lot this week! Thomas and Sidney had great fun giving Cosmic Corner a re-paint!
Everyone is invited to watch us do a phonics lesson on Monday 3rd December at 9.00. So why not come along and find out for yourself just how good we are? You might pick up some good tips for helping your child to learn at home too. It will only take 20 minutes and we promise that you will be very impressed.
Anyway must hop along now.
