Hello everyone,
This week we were super creative and actually builded a real castle using cardboard boxes paint and bricked wallpaper!!! What a big project it was, but guess what… we did well and our special magical writing place is ready to be used next week. In our castle the children will be able to write a short story/ sentence and dress up as a princess or knight. We have everything needed to make a book and at the end of each day the children will be able to celebrate their story writing with their friends. Can’t wait to see all the amazing books. Stay tuned and check the blog every week to see it too.
On Wednesday we celebrated National numeracy day. The children had access to many fun activities like making a number block crown and number block fan. They also printed numicons on a playdough and did number bonds to 10 while eating cheese biscuits:
We can’t be more excited to tell you that 4 out of 5 butterflies emerged and they are healthy and eating juicy fruit already. Hopefully the fifth one will emerge too, so we can release them all next week.
In Little Wandle we’ve read super long words like ‘lunchbox’ and ‘handstand’ and again practised chunking them up ‘lunch’ and ‘box’. Chunking long words is really useful and helps us read with ease. We’ve learned 4 new tricky words too:
Please practice reading them at home.
In Maths this week we practised thinking about pairs of numbers that make 10 using our double dice frame. The stem sentence we used was: ” I can see 4 counters, so I could say: “4 needs 6 to make 10”, or I could say “6 needs 4 to make 10”. You can practise the stem sentence at home too. We also played with 10 frames and had yellow and red tokens to make 10 in different ways.
In RE we talked about Judaism. Mrs Ruffell was very kind to come and tell us all about her family traditions and she explained what Seder meal means. We talked about the meaning of each food on the plate. The children could wear the special Jewish hat called kippah.
Things to remember:
Wednesday, 24 May 2023, 2:15 pm – Pentecost party
We will encourage children to wear red to school on the day; red being the liturgical color of Pentecost.
Any voluntary contributions towards the food (which will be limited to red items) should be provided by Monday 22 May.
Have a lovely weekend!
Looking forward seeing you all on Monday!
Mrs Solakova
