Happy New Year and welcome back everyone.
Hope you’ve had a restful holiday and are ready for another busy term!
We loved sharing christmas stories and experiences during circle time. Some children even heard Santa coming down the chimney :). Lucky!
This week we dedicated to Epiphany and talked a lot about the three kings and how they gifted baby Jesus with very special gifts. We created beautiful crowns using different shaped gems:
On the writing table the children were practicing their digraphs and trigraphs by writing messages to friends and family.
We also dressed up as kings and prepared special gifts for Jesus. It was a long journey 🙂
In Little Wandle this week we learnt the first four of phase 3 sounds. You will find more information about phase 3 sounds in your child’s pink folder.
I also added some information about phase 3 tricky words and how we learn them at school.
In Maths we talked about shapes with 4 sides and their properties. We used mathematical language for describing the shapes: ‘sides’, ‘straight’ and ‘corners’. We also made shapes by combining different sizes of squares and rectangles. Starting from this week the children will have a maths activity to take home. Once completed please bring it to school, or if you prefer you can upload a photo of it on Tapestry.
Please take your time to look at our new home learning grid (you will find a paper copy in your child’s orange book too).
Have a lovely weekend.
Looking forward seeing you all on Monday.
