The children have had a great day in Class One! They have all enjoyed getting to know each other and have been very busy! This morning we read the book ‘The Rainbow Fish’ and discussed the meaning of the story. We talked a lot about friendship. The children told each other their ideas about what makes a good friend and we made a record of their ideas. They all had lovely ideas such as being kind, being helpful, sharing toys and being happy together. The children then started to decorate a scale to make a large class fish on a display board.
The children have shared books and have enjoyed circle time together. They were all very good in the hall at lunch time and had a good time playing on the field together.
Letters and Sounds – we looked at the letter ‘s’ today. We made the ‘ssss’ sound and found out the letter name. Lots of children tried very hard to form the letter ‘s’ in their Busy Bee books. The Year One children enjoyed working together to write a list of words that have ‘s’ at the start or somewhere in the word. They were very good at being organised and worked mostly independently and tried really hard to make sure their handwriting was clear.
We all enjoyed some indoor and outdoor child initiated time towards the end of the day.
