We went on an Autumn Walk to Ransnap Woods and used our senses to explore the seasonal changes. We collected leaves and back in school we made our own Leaf Man!

Maths:

We have been focusing on number 4 this week. We know that:

Three and another one is four.

Three and one is four.

Four is three and one.

Four is more than one/two/three.

One/two/threeis fewer than four .

We looked at ways to represent number 4 and created a square garden in Numberland.

We have also been practising our subitising skills with numbers up to 4. 

Subitising is the ability to look at a small group of objects and instantly recognise how many there are without counting them one by one.

A good way to practise this at home is playing games that involve rolling a dice. Can your child recognise the number from the pattern of dots on the dice without counting each one?

Phonics Homework

Please find the weekly sheets for this half term in the files section at the bottom of this blog.  Use the sheet however it works for you. Some people may want to print it out or just use the information to say the phoneme, write the grapheme and play games thinking about things that start with that sound. We are also looking carefully at forming our letters correctly in class. Please remind your child to say the rhyme for each letter to help them when they are writing at home.

 Jofli is an important member of our class and we sing his song each week on Friday afternoon before he chooses who he will go home with.

You can listen to the song using this link-

End of Day Routine

• Children will only be allowed to go home with adults listed on the safeguarding form, unless school has been contacted to state otherwise. ​

• Children will be dismissed one at a time. We kindly request that all children are dismissed prior to teachers/ Teaching Assistants being approached by parents. ​

• Should any child need to come back into the classroom, we will allow them back into the room after all of the children have been dismissed.​
