What a wonderful first week we have had! We are so proud of all the children and how well they have settled into routines. Well done Little Adventurers! 

This week we will be sharing the story 'The Colour Monster'.  We will be talking about emotions and feelings and how these can change throughout the day. Have a listen to the story below:

Sometimes, the colour monster turns all different colours when his feelings are mixed up. We will be making our own colour monsters, talking about what we can do to help when we feel a certain way. We'll also be colour mixing and experimenting with what colours we can make using red, blue and yellow. 

Our weekly song will be 'If you're happy, and you know it'

 

In F2, we will be starting our Read, Write, Inc sessions... We will be learning a sound a day and practising forming the letters correctly using the sayings to help us (e.g. round the apple, down the leaf).  

Over the next few weeks, we will be beginning to blend the sounds we know to read words. We will be playing lots of 'Fred Talk' games to help with this tricky blending process. At home, you could play Fred Talk games or games like 'I spy' to help children distinguish the initial sound in words.

We will send the sounds the children have been learning home (please keep these safe in their book bags, we will add to them each week until you have a full set). You can practise these speedy sounds, holding the cards up and encouraging your child to say the sound. Here's a video of the pure sounds. 

Remember to write in your child's reading diary each time you practise 'speedy sounds'...  Helping your child get on their way to their bronze reading award!  

Here are the sounds we will be learning this week:

 

• Check Tapestry and the blog regularly to see what the children in EYFS have been unto
  Please could you send a family photo on tapestry. We are using these to create a display. 🏡💕thanks to everyone that has already done this.
