Hello children, parents and carers,
It’s Friday again and I can’t wait to share with you what we’ve been busy with in the last 5 days.
In Little Wandle we’ve learnt four new graphemes:
Next week we will focus on finding out what the children learnt so far revisiting all the phonemes and digraphs for Autumn 1.
We also added a new tricky word ‘the’ . Please practice the tricky words at home too, as we all know they can be very ‘tricky’ to remember :).
In Maths we talked about mass and weight, used lots of mathematical language like ‘This piece of playdough is heavier’ or ‘The feather is lighter’. The children experimented with different weight while playing with the playdough and also sorted different items by weight.
We are very much looking forward to have our first Reception class performance next week and are very excited to rehearse our song. We also painted some lovely fruit and vegetables to show you on the day.
Please remember that the Harvest assembly is taking place next Wednesday at 2pm. Looking forward seeing you all there.
This week we talked a lot about Autumn and what kind of changes we can notice. We went for a walk and collected different leaves. Then we used them to make paper rubbings. We also spent the Friday afternoon making hedgehogs. We used clay for the body, spaghetty for the prickles and beans for the eyes. We can’t be more proud….they look stunning 🙂

This week we started a new topic Baptism – Belonging. At Baptism, the Church invites and welcomes the person into the Church family, The Sacrament of Baptism is the basis of all Christian life.

As a class we discussed what ‘Welcome’ means and shared lovely stories from when we felt welcomed. We remembered our first days of school when everyone was welcome to come to school.
Would be lovely to see photos or any other special items from your child’s own Baptism. This can be a candle, special card, blanket or gown. They will be part of a display and then safely returned home.
Have a lovely weekend!
