Week 4

The week is just flying past, we are making the most of the great weather in the pool. The cooler evenings are an indication that the days are numbered. We are planning on holding a "try-athlon" next week ( Friday) a note will come home soon, so that the children can try some new activities and also show parents briefly what they are doing in the pool.

J.E.T is held on Fridays, this is a great way for the children to put into practise the Bledisleo 3 R's ( respect, responsibility and resilience.) Expectations are set at the start of the session and then the children explain at the end how they tried to me the expectations.

Our sound of the week this week has been "Mm"

Our word of the week has been "look"

Maths learning is about recognising and practising writing the numbers to 5, then 10.

 

Readers have been coming home each night, the children are really enjoying reading sessions and they are all trying so hard to point to the words as they say them. This is called 1 to 1 matching.

 

Enjoy the week ahead

Week 2

It is so exciting watching the children grow each day- learning the class routines and the ways that we learn in Room 1.Today some children got to use our class tablet to reinforce their understanding of the sound of the week. The smiles on their faces said it all.

Swimming is going well- having fine weather and getting in the pool each day makes such a difference. Can you please ensure that each day the children have their clothes correctly labelled and a bag to put the wet togs in.

We have a few new children beginning school in the next few weeks, so it is great to have these children settled and ready to help the new children.

Our sound of the week this week is "j" and our word of the week is "can"

Next week we will begin our maths change-overs, most children will stay in Room 1 with me, but a few will move into other rooms. These change overs are not for the whole year and every few weeks the teachers discuss altering the groupings so we are nest meeting the learning needs of all the children.

Remember any questions, queries, I am only to happy to help and answer these for you.

What an awesome start we have had to the school year. Thank you to all those parents who have sent back their permission slips for this blog, it is such a great way to keep up to date with the happenings in our room.
