Children need their planner and reading book every day
The children are really beginning to enjoy writing and are applying their phonic knowledge when spelling. It is great to hear them segmenting words and then blending to read the word back.
There has been lots of list writing this week and the children have been wearing their magic writing glasses to help them.
The Early Years children went on their first Forest School walk to find leaves.
They had listened to story of Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and we had talked about why all the leaves were changing colour and falling from the trees. The children enjoyed finding all the colours, especially the red ones which were a bit harder to find.
We then took our leaves back to the classroom where the children created beautiful autumn crowns and their own leaf man images.
Reading and role play
The children have been doing well with their phonic learning and are now beginning to blend sounds. Well done!
They have also been listening to the story of The Three Little Pigs and then acting it out. It was great to see how confident they were and how well they remembered the story.
The children have been practising their mark making skills. They have been able to copy the patterns shown and enjoyed sharing their work.
The children have been exploring number. They have been counting and ordering numbers and then matched amounts. Well done reception. .
