This week during ‘Understanding the World’ we learnt about a sense of sight. The boys listened to the story ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?” After spotting all the animals in the story, we looked for items we could see in our classroom. The boys then wrote the initial letter e.g. d for ‘duck’. They also wrote any remaining sounds they could hear when segmenting and blending.
We enjoyed learning about the our eyes and we looked at a large model of the eye. We practised closing our eyes and listening to instructions. By not being able to see, we learnt that we need our others senses to help us if our sight is impaired.
During art, the boys created a collage of the yellow duck from the story:
Here are some other things the boys got up to:
Maths homework activity:
The boys have been doing very well learning how to write their numbers. They have learnt that all numbers start at the top and they are trying hard to make them sit on the line. For homework, please can you practise writing numbers 0-3. Please let us know how you get on by commenting on this blog post. To do this, please click on the ‘heart’ to the left of this post. You can also bring in independent work from home, which we can display on our ‘independence wall’. Have fun!
Next week, the boys will be receiving their first reading books.
Also starting next week is our Star Boy rota. The theme is ‘All about me’. Please bring in something to show about your favourite toy or hobby. The list is displayed on our class window. The Star Boys for next week are as follows:
Monday: Aarav
Tuesday: Alistair
Wednesday: Antonio
Thursday: Christian
Friday: Danveer
The weekly challenge is: Put on your coat independently.
Please help your son by practising putting their coat on independently, including fixing their sleeves if they are inside out.
Have a restful and enjoyable weekend!
Mrs Starkey and Mrs Aldridge
