Summer Term 2, Week 2
We have enjoyed another fun week of learning, and have really loved learning a poem to be writing next week about ‘A Run in the Sun’. We have confidently shared ideas for actions to help us remember the poem, and looking forward to writing this next week in our Literacy.
Our REACH activity was spent with Miss Read, allowing us more time getting to see our new classroom and showcase our amazing learning and empathetic personalities.
During RE we wrote postcards to loved ones to share the hope that a faith in Jesus brings, as well as sharing how we know Saint Peter and Saint Paul are friends of Jesus.
We will be very excited to share our woodworking with our Dad’s this weekend, and those that show us a love like our Heavenly Father here on earth, and we have written a card to special people in our lives to share this Sunday.
In PE we took our Multi-Skills outside and developed our aspirational movement and control with obstacles and equipment.
We are working really hard to demonstrate high expectations with our writing, but a few of us still forget our tripod grip, which is really important as we move through the school, so please do watch us when we are mark making, writing and colouring in and give us the reminder to help us along the way.
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.
