Our key text this week has been ‘It’s My Birthday’. Yesterday, the children were able to work collaboratively to sequence the animals and match the ingredients they used to make a birthday cake. Today, we discussed how people are different and like different things. We talked about different birthday presents and which party games we like. We voted and created a bar chart. It was lovely to see the children continue the party games in provision! #LovePlover

These superstars have all demonstrated courage this week. Some children have been courageous and stood at the front of the class to show their working out to some of our tricky maths questions, some children have shown courage and took on the lead role in our arithmetic coaching lesson and one child was very courageous and used his voice to remind his friends they were making the wrong choices.

Today, we checked in by saying something we love doing with our families. Lots of people said playing is their favourite thing to do. Others said ” going on holiday” and “going to the park” and “watching Bluey”. It was so great to be in a crew circle and have every child speak and listen to eachother. We really are learning what Crew is!
We then had a game of Charades. It was funny, not being able to speak but helping people understand us. We guessed, ‘sleeping’, ‘baking’, ‘blowing out a candle’, ‘jumping’ and a number of animals. We were brilliant at it and best of all, we had fun together.
The children said they might play it home with their families.
F1 have been exploring chalk and paint in different way today to create patterns. We used a variety of different tools such as cotton buds, brushes, toothbrushes and sponges. We laid on our tummies whilst doing this to work our stomach muscles, and practise our gross motor skills at the same time.

In the Spring and Summer term, we would like to hold a ‘Matilda’ drama club. This will be open to all of Key Stage Two (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) and held after school on a Thursday. The club will consist of a range of musical theatre skills such as; singing, dancing and acting, with the end goal of putting together a production of Matilda the musical.
If your child is interested in a place in this club, please return the letter given out by your class teacher before Friday 10th October.

In maths, we have already learned to subitise. That means we don’t need to count objects and pictures up to three. We can just say what we see. Now, we are looking at what four is. We made four with one and one and one and one. We explored what else it can be made of. Some of us made it with two and two, three and one, one and three or a tall tower, or four in a row. Sooo many ways of making four! It’s so exciting that we have so many more numbers to explore together this year!
