This week we have been continuing our
current topic ‘All About Me’. Each child
drew a family portrait and gave meaning
to marks they had made. Please
remember to come and have a look at
these pictures in the adult directed
literacy files during our open classroom
on Thursday after school.
Children now have their merit charts inside
their drawers which they are beginning to
take responsibility for.
The merit charts must be kept in the
drawers at school. If your child has any
merit stickers at home from the first two
weeks at school, they may bring them into
school and add them to their chart.
Last Friday the children took part in their
first PE lesson and took great steps towards
getting undressed and dressed
independently. They all did extremely well
and I was really impressed. Once in the hall,
we talked about keeping safe and played
some car racing games with hoops to help
us negotiate the space successfully. I have
heard rave reviews about PE since then so I
hope they enjoy PE this week just as much!
Our topic for this half term is
‘All About Me’.
WB 19/9/16
We listened to the story ‘Funnybones’ by
Janet and Allan Ahlberg and talked
about the purpose of bones inside our
bodies. The children have been
arranging the bones to form a human
skeleton and created their own skeleton
pictures using white chalk on black
paper.
Reception began to attend whole school
assemblies this week with the rest of the
school.
On Monday we found out about Ms
Sassoli’s trip to a School in Africa.
On Tuesday afternoon we attended singing
assembly and began to practise some
hymns for the Harvest Festival at Church.
A big well done to all of the children this
week for learning to come into the classroom
by themselves!
Look out for the paper bag challenge which
children will bring home this Friday….
Next week we will be talking about Harvest in preparation
for the Harvest Festival at Church on Friday 30th
September.
We will walk to the church as a class and hope to see you all
there. Please let us know if you are able to walk with us.
