Hello and welcome to another week.
There is lots to share, as we are always busy learning, creating and playing. We began the week by planting a tree on the playing fields. We chose ‘the best’ two trees and planted them with care. We talked about what the tree will need, how big it will grow, etc. Everybody took part and placed a little bit if soil into the hole.
Outside was great fun this week as we had to free lots of polar animals. They were all stuck in the ice. The children were banging and pushing and breaking the ice and eventually all of the animals were safe and sound 🙂
In Little Wandle we’ve learnt 4 new digraphs:
The children are reading words with the new digraph and even learning how to spell and write some of them. This week we’ve spelled words like torn, book, foot, march.
We also learnt 3 new tricky words. They are already in your child’s orange books ready for you to practise at home. The new tricky words are ‘was’, ‘they’ and ‘you’.
In Maths we introduced the concept of zero. The children already had some practical understanding of ‘nothing there’, ‘none’ or ‘all gone’, therefore they learnt that the number name ‘zero’ and the numeral 0 can be used to represent this idea. We were also thinking about numbers to 5 (including zero) and learnt how to instantly recognise of up to five objects (subitise number 0-5).
In RE we began a new topic Local Church Community – Celebrating. We talked about our own experiences and feelings about celebrations; we wondered why people celebrate and how they feel when they celebrate.
Thank you to those of you who shared pictures of their own celebrations.
