The boys listened to the story ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” After spotting all the animals in the story. The boys then wrote the initial letter e.g. d for ‘duck’ and any remaining sounds they could hear when segmenting and blending. We decorated some of the animals from the story in Art using different materials.
During Phonics, the boys practised learning and writing the sounds, p, i and n. Please do continue to practise writing these sounds in the word book and think about words beginning with these sounds. We also practised writing the numbers 0 and 1.
This week in Maths we have been comparing and ordering by size, length and time.
Here are some activities you can do at home:
Find a ruler or a stick. Can you find something longer or shorter than this? Can you find something taller or shorter than this? Can you find something exactly the same length or height as this?
You can also make caterpillars from playdough. Which one is the longest caterpillar? Can you make a caterpillar that is the same length as a given stick?
The boys thoroughly enjoyed making caterpillar fruit kebabs with a lovely parent from RMC.
The theme for the ‘Show and Tell’ is ‘All about me’. Please bring in a photo/ picture or one of your favourite toys to show to the class. The list is displayed on our class window as well as the blog.
The ‘Show and Tell’ boys for next week are as follows:
Monday: Rian
Tuesday: Sachin
Wednesday: Sqongweni
Thursday: Sterlin
Friday: Theo
To develop the boys’ independence skills we are going to start weekly challenges. Challenges will be placed on the blog and window.
Our challenge starting on the 02.10.23 is: Hang your coat up independently. To support the boys, you can encourage them to hang their coats up using the hook independently at home.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday for our ‘open classroom’ afternoon, the boys have worked very hard and I hope you enjoy looking through their books.
Have a restful and enjoyable weekend!
Mrs Craven and Miss Dowden
