Hello children, parents and carers,
What a busy, busy week. We talked about Advent, practised on stage for the performance, role played the Nativity story and wrote letters to Santa!
Our playdough table turned into bumpy road with Mary and Joseph, wise men and shepherds. The children were singing the Nativity songs while playing and had a great time exploring what’s on the table:
Our small world area turned into a Nativity scene and the children are now able to retell the christmas story, make books and role play the Christmas story with their friends.
Our Letters to Santa were such a hit. What a great way to practise blending, segmenting and handwriting… all through play. The children are more and more confident using what they know. I can’t be more proud.
In Little Wandle last week we were learning how to read words with ‘s’ at the end: cat -s, hat -s, bag -s, etc. The children are getting more and more confident blending 4 sounds together. We also learnt 3 new tricky words:
This week it’s assessment week and we will be busy checking for any gaps. Then we will be revisiting all phase 2 sounds and tricky words until Christmas.
Last Friday we took part in a very special Dressing of the Christmas tree assembly. Well done to Evie and Kanon for being so sensible and helping Mrs Porter to decorate the tree. You did a smashing job 🙂
In class we thought about Advent and how to be more like Jesus during Advent. We wrote our Advent promises and also picked a Special Christmas friend. The chosen name is in your child’s reading record.
This week is going to be a very important one!
We were preparing props and learning how to use the microphone. The children are very, very excited to show you everything they learned in the last couple of weeks.
We are very much looking forward seeing you all on Wednesday 11th December at 10am for a very special performance. We’ve worked very hard and I am sure you will love it!!!
Please be reminded that the deadline for the outfits was 4th December.
And finally but not least, congratulations for all your hard work and motivation! You truly deserve the awards, red sash and golden rosette!!!
