This week the children have started to learn about inspirational black people as part of Black History Month and explored activities linked to this. 

Phonics -  Please find this weeks Phonics learning in your child's book bag on Friday. Practise the phoneme sounds learnt as children need to recall all sounds learnt automatically by sight. Please also practise grapheme tracing with their finger and oral blending. Any questions please see your child's teacher. 

Maths - This week we have been exploring the composition of the numbers 2 and 3. Children have been combining subitising skills and counting skills to notice different patterns within the numbers. The children have learnt the following stem sentences to support how they remember the number composition. Please use these stem sentences when noticing the numbers 2 and 3. "1 and another 1 is 2" and "1 and 1 and 1 is 3"

WC 28st September Notes:

This week the children have continued to enjoy the lovely weather in our outside area. In phonics the children are in their third week of learning new phonemes and are beginning to use these to orally blend. They have started Little Wandle handwriting in the afternoons and have been practising how to hold their pencil correctly when making different patterns.
