Over the last 2 weeks the children have looked at:

‘n’ – Down Nobby and over the net.       n

‘p’ Down the plait, up and over the pirates face.      p

‘g’  Round the girls face, down her hair and give her a curl.      g

Reception children have orally segmented and blended CV  and CVC words that can be made with all the sounds we have covered so far  (m a s d t i n p g)

as, at, in

mat, mad, sad, Sam, tin, pin, sat, pat, pit, pad, dad, dig    etc

Year 1 children have put these words into sentences and recorded some.  Year 1 children have also completed word and sentence level work based on the ditties ‘Let’s Run’ and  ‘A fun hat’.

All children have practised handwriting each sound covered.

The children have been having so much fun in their Forest School sessions, we have decided to continue the after half term.  Please ensure your child has suitable outer clothes (ones you don’t mind them getting dirty), that are waterproof and warm.

This week our Class Nursery rhyme is ‘Miss Polly’.  Class 1 have started to learn the rhyme and have been busy looking after the babies in class!

So far this term the children have covered the following sounds:

‘m’ – Down Maisie then over the two mountains. Maisie, mountain, mountain.     m
