Money

The children really enjoy using money for role play. Today they were busy busy pancakes for 1p and 2p.

We thought it would be nice if we can have some real coins for the children to use and would be very grateful if you could raid your pockets and purses and donate some 1p and 2 p coins.

thank you

Homework: Junk model musical instrument

Over the half term we would like children in Class 1 to make a musical instrument to bring into school on the first week back.  We would love to see what they can create using empty cereal boxes/tubes/ food packaging etc.  Don’t forget to put photos up on Tapestry of their creating.

The children will then get a chance to show the rest of the class their handiwork and the whole class will use them as part of our Mardi Gra celebrations.

We are also collecting junk modelling  so that the children can do more junk modelling during Child Initiated times.

Just a quick reminder that all parents/guardians need to collect their children at 3.15pm on Friday and then accompany them to the disco at 3.30pm.

There will be no Cross Country club on Friday.

Thank you

Children in Class 1 are now revisiting and securing their knowledge of the phonics sounds.

Village walk

Class 1 have been finding out about what different buildings are used for in the local area.  Today we went on a walk to find out more.

We saw the church that Harry’s Mum and Dad got married in and where we did our school play.  The Village Hall where Maisie and several other children have had their birthday parties.  The football field where the children do cross country and the play park – which we enjoyed using 🙂

We talked about all the different things in the village and why they are important.  Lots of children thought our school is one of the most important buildings so that children can learn.

Special Visitor

The children welcomed a special visitor into Class 1 today.  Post woman Jen came in to tell them all about her job.

The children really enjoyed meeting her and they had plenty of questions to ask.

Maths

This week the children have been making up their own number stories about one and two more.  Some children even started to think about what would happen if there was one less.

The children used small world objects to help tell their story – e.g. There were 4 horses in the school field and one more came.  In pairs they worked out the new totals.  Some children will have this recorded in  their online learning journal – Tapestry.

If you see/hear your child using this language at home or in play, please do upload onto their Tapestry area.
