We have been overjoyed to return to another new role play in the classroom – this time a Farmer’s Market – we have been busy confidently buying and selling, even teachers have been in to buy some doughnuts and coffees from us. We are using real coins, and making posters, shopping lists and labels for this area.
To celebrate what we did over half term we have created paintings and written sentences as a way to share what we did, some children shared how their letters they wrote in school and posted arrived at home over the half term. We hope you all enjoyed receiving their work in the post.
We are have another new focus which has arrived in our class to watch and observe over the next few weeks – caterpillars. We are showing our resilient with the words we are learning linked to this and are excited to learn more.
We have been showing high expectations with our writing, as we have been independently creating and writing our own sentences as well as labelling life cycles in Literacy. We are meeting longer polysyllabic words in Phonics, where we are reading and writing longer words that can be sounded out (e.g. pondweed).
As we enjoy the seasonal changes we have been in awe of the changing world we love, and during outdoor learning we have been on the hunt for ‘signs of summer’. We have found: different grasses, we found lots of worms thanks to the rain, we found munched leaves, we even found some big moon daisies (officially ox-eye daises).
For REACH activity we went to our Year 1 classroom with Miss Read, we played memory games and shared what we wanted to be when we are older.
We have developing our subitising with renenreks (similar to an abacus) but designed specifically for our current learning. It has been a lot of fun spotting number patterns with these and we continue to be aspirational with our maths learning in preparation for Year 1.
