Fortnightly Update
25th September 2023

We have had a wonderful few weeks settling in and getting to know the children .The children have loved exploring the
environment and making new friends.
Over the next few weeks we will be looking at
Phonics : In phonics we will be carrying out a variety of activities that encourage the children to identify the letter and hear the sound at the beginning of the word, for example sat, snake, sand .
This week we will be focusing on the letter ’s’
Next week we will be focusing on the letter ‘a’
Literacy
In Literacy we are focusing on ’ All About Me’. Where the children will be sharing their likes and dislikes, similarities and differences through a variety of different mark making and speaking and listening activities. Please can your child bring in a family photo to share with their peers.
Maths
In Maths we are focusing on developing our counting skills through a selection of counting rhymes:
5 little ducks, 1,2,3,45…,5 little spaceman, and Ba Ba black sheep. Developing the understanding that numbers have an order and what number comes before and after.
Dates for you to remember ..
Monday and Thursday – PE
In PE we are focusing on developing their listening and attention and their gross motor skills through our ’Cool Kids Programme’.
Please ensure the children come in their PE kits on these days.
Tuesday – Welly walk (am)
In Welly walk we will be using magnifying glasses to look at decaying plants more closely to see what is now happening to them.
Please make sure that your child has appropriate clothing according to the weather. Please remember to bring in wellies, coat and waterproofs if you have any. We do go outside what ever the weather. ( Children can wear PE kits for the welly walk if you wish)
