We have had another fantastic week in Ash Class.
Just a quick reminder that PE and Forest School days have now swapped - PE is now on a Wednesday and Forest School is on a Friday.
In Phonics, we have been recapping on our Phase 3 phonemes, reading and writing words containing these. We have also been reading longer words containing 2 digraphs. The children have been working extremely hard in Phonics. The activities below will support your child to further develop the skills we have been working on throughout the week.
This week in Drawing Club, we have looked at the story 'Find Your Happy'.
We have learnt 4 new vocabulary words this week:
Gloomy
Feeling dark, sad, or full of grey clouds inside your heart.
At the start, Sloth is feeling very gloomy and doesn't know how to turn his sad day into a happy one.
Grateful
Feeling thankful and happy for the nice things you have.
Sloth learns that feeling grateful for warm sunshine and helpful friends brings a big smile to his face.
Overwhelmed
Feeling like your emotions are too big, too loud, or too tricky to handle all at once.
When his bad mood feels overwhelming, Sloth asks his friends to help him figure out what to do.
Cherished
Something or someone you love very much and hold close to your heart.
Sloth realises that spending time with his cherished friends is the best way to find happiness.
We have wrote special codes creating secret emotion powers for Sloth, about where we think he will find his happy and what he will find at the end of the rainbow.
The children have produced some fantastic codes this week and have even started to build their very own codes!
In Maths, we have been learning about place value. We have been counting forwards from different numbers and using resources to help us find 1 more.
PE will be on a Friday. Please can children come to school wearing PE kit on this day.
Children will need to wear the following kit:
● Black shorts
● White T-shirt or coloured t-shirt in the colour of your child’s house (green, red, blue, yellow) NO FOOTBALL SHIRTS.
● Black plimsolls or trainers
● Dark coloured tracksuit for cold weather
Forest School will be on a Wednesday. Please can children bring a bag with their Forest School clothes (any old clothes which you don't mind getting muddy) to change into. Please can you also send a named pair of wellies in which can be kept in school.
Children will receive their new reading books next week. They will bring home 1 Phonics reading book to practice their blending and the skills we are learning through our Phonics and a reading for pleasure book that you can share together. Please record in your child's reading record every time they read at home.
Please can all books be returned to school on a Thursday. New books will then be sent home every Friday.
Don't forget to check Class Dojo for regular updates about your child's learning.
Please share stories at home when you can - maybe you could try reading some of the books on our bookshelf or those recommended on the link below:
