Counting and numbers to 20

The children in Class 1 have been practising counting to 20. The Cuboid group looked at making the right stack of cubes to match their numbers cards.

You can help your children with numbers by looking at numbers on doors, car registration plates, numbered aisles in the supermarket, price tags etc. Children love counting things, it could be the apples in the fruit bowl, the tins in the cupboard, shoes in the porch, socks in the wash basket etc.

This is also a good interactive activity to help children with their counting, number formations and number recognition – http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/ngfl/ngfl-flash/numbers_eng/numbers_e.html

Last weeks phonics

Last week the children looked at and wrote the sounds ‘l’ ‘h’ ‘sh’ ‘r’.

When we write ‘l’ we say ‘Down the long leg.’

For ‘h’ we say ‘Down the head to the hooves and over his back.’

For ‘sh’ we say slither down the snake, then down the head, to his hooves and over his back.’

For ‘r’ we say ‘Down his back, then curl over his arm.’

We looked at words that begin/ end with the sounds and children enjoyed identifying if they had the letters in their own name.

Every day the children practise writing their name, some children are now having a go at writing their surname 🙂

Fire Fighter visit

The children were very excited today when they found out that we were going to have some very special visitors!

Fire Fighter Darren and John popped in with the fire engine to show the children. The children had lots of questions to ask and it seems quite a few parents are Fire fighters..

We found out lots of things and hopefully the children can share this with you when they get home. Fire Fighter Darren has set them homework – to check that the smoke alarm works at home.

Singing in phonics

Today the children looked at the sound ‘u’ and practised writing it. When writing ‘u’ we say – ‘ down and under, up to the top and down to draw the puddle.’

We then sang our ‘u’ song and recorded it to show our Mums and Dads.
