Week Beginning 15.10.18

This week the story of the week is Jack and the Beanstalk as we're continuing with traditional tales. Their acting out skills are really being demonstrated through their play which is really lovely to see!

We have been doing IT self portraits to go on display with their painted self portraits to show the children how different media can be used and to develop IT skills. We discussed which media the children preferred using and why. They have been using a simple paint program on the computer and creating some great artwork in their free play too.

We have been doing phonics and the sounds this week are a, d and qu and there will be a sheet in your child's book bag at the end of the week for you to help your child to practise at home.

In Maths we have been refining our counting skills by lining up objects and touching each one or moving each one as we say the number to ensure accurate counting. We found lots of children were over counting because they were counting too quickly and not saying a number for each object.

Wow - the children have all been at school for a whole half term and they seem to be really enjoying it! We're really pleased with how they've settled in and adjusted well to school! Well done!

Have a great half term!
