The Meadow class have all been settling in together over the last few weeks.

For a lot of the children it has been their first experience of being in school for longer periods of time.

We wanted to share some of the photos that we will be putting on one of our display boards this week.

Have you been spotted.............................doing something amazing in the classroom and setting a really good example.

This we are going to have a couple of stories. Stickman and Rosie's walk

We will be challenging the children to hear lots of 'c' sounds in their activities this week.

We will be teaching them that there is more than one way to make a c sound.

You can use a 'c', you can use a 'k' or you can put them together and make the special friend sound 'ck'!

Lots of the activities will be using stick. We seem to have an abundance of sticks all over the place at the moment so we are going to find imaginative ways of using them.

Stickman is available as an animation on BBCiPlayer.

Our letters of the week

Here are just some of the activities we will be making available for the children to choose.

For our Maths this week.....We will be reinforcing the numbers 1 2 and 3 as well as learning all about triangles. We will be making patterns out of all the natural materials we can find. We will even be using timers to see how fast we can build a shelter for stickman to hide in.

Our Sound Story this week is ‘Octopus, Socktopus’

This story is going to help introduce and reinforce the letter ‘o’

We will be eating lots of o o orange’s, and  making a giant orange octopus!

Before each activity we will show our RWI letter ‘o’ and use the phrase 

‘Back… all around the orange’.

We will be matching up pairs of socks and welly boots for the octopus too!

So it is not everyday you need to have a parachute handy in order to make apple juice!
