This week we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We have read the story and practised changing our voices for the 3 different bears. Chloe is brilliant at doing different voices and so is Alexus ! We have made bears of different sizes from collage materials and we painted our own bears. We have made cut and stick bears too which was very tricky. We have also had fun retelling the story with puppets.
We have read lots of non fiction books about bears and other animals and we found out that bears really do love honey ! Lots of us chose non-fiction books from the library this week and we have had lots of fun looking in them to find information with Miss Cannell and our High School Student Miss McNab.
In maths we have been thinking about capacity and finding out which cup is FULL, HALF FULL and EMPTY. Lennon even found a way to find out whether his cup had more in than Mrs Ball's - well done Lennon.
We have also been thinking about different sizes and putting things in order when we sort them. These pictures show you how we sorted the bears into big, medium sized and small. We used the colours to help us sort aswell.
We have been playing lots of phonics games this week to help us listen carefully for the sounds in words. We are now so good at SOUND TALK that Mrs Young is not the champion - we are ! Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to one of the Phonics Roadshows this week - we hope you found them really useful?
We have been doing lots of balancing outside on blocks and stilts and we are getting much better at taking our time and being careful.
We had our mini harvest festival on Thursday and everyone did so well singing our harvest songs. Thanks to all the parents and carers who came along to watch.
The phonics booklets and tricky word books have all come home now (in your child's book bag) so please do have a go at them over half term. We will be starting Phase 2 phonics as soon as we come back to school after half term. Thank you for your support in this. This link will enable you to play some of the phonics games we do in class: Phonics Games
See you after the holiday.
