Term: Autumn 2 Date: 10.12.18
Dear Parents and Carers,
It was fantastic to see so many of the children in their pajamas on Friday evening for Bedtime Stories. We had a lot of fun and hope the children did too!
Last week we read Aliens Love Underpants. The children loved the story and were busy designing their own underpants. They also used their phonics knowledge to label underpants and create ‘missing posters’.
We have a few clothing items that can not be located. Please could you check if you have any school cardigans labelled with ‘Billie’ or LS at home that your child may have picked up by mistake. Thank you!
Often in December the children enjoy sending christmas cards to their friends. This year we ask that if you and your child choose to send christmas cards, that the children take part in this activity and the adults do not do all the work. At this time of year lots of children are practising writing their name and doing so in a christmas card, gives them an opportunity to practice and one with a purpose. It will vary for all children but some may be able to independently write christmas cards, copying difficult words. Others may just write their name, whilst some children may trace theirs. Of course there is no expectation for anyone to send christmas cards, but we feel if this is something you choose to do, the children are involved with the process.
This week we will be reading Stickman. We will be going on our own stickhunt, writing letters to santa and of course performing the Nativity on Tuesday!
Physical Development
The children are working hard at writing their names independently as well as practising their letter and number formation.
Maths
This week we will be finding one more and one less than a given number. The children will go on a stick hunt and then order the sticks in order of length. We will also be working on our number formation.
