This week it is full on nativity rehearsals ready for the big performances next week. All details about the performances were in the letter you got last week. Please make sure you've ordered your DVDs - we will get those out to you as soon as they're ready but it may not be until the last week.
We are continuing with fine motor activities so that we build our writing muscles up and we are introducing two new tricky words 'go' and 'the'. We will continue to revise the sounds from phonics and will be assessing the children on these next week.
In maths the number of the week is 8 and we are going to investigate how many different ways we can make 8.
On Friday we are having an early lunch because of our trip - there are no hot dinners. If you haven't ordered a school packed lunch for Friday please don't forget to send a home packed lunch in for your child. We are very excited about out theatre trip and then the Christmas fair straight after school!
Have a good week!

Week Beginning 12.11.18 and 19.11.18
The children had The Nativity Story so that they know the story that they are doing for their show. This has helped with knowing about the characters and the sequence of the story.
The children have been practising hard for their show 'Noisy Nativity' they are doing really well with their lines and acting roles. Thank you for helping at home with learning lines! The children are trying hard to learn the words of the songs and we have another week before the bog shows!
We have finished all the single sounds in phonics so we are now revising the sounds. We introduced the tricky words 'to' and 'I' - these are called tricky words because they cannot be sounded out so the children need to learn to recognise these by sight.
In maths we have been learning about shapes and their properties. They have guessed the shapes in a feely bag, they have made pictures with shapes and looked for shapes in the outdoor environment. We are up to number 7 in the number of the week and the children are doing really well recognising the numbers and they are even writing the numbers too.
We have been continuing with squiggle and dough disco to develop writing skills. The children have been practising their independent writing which we are really impressed with. They all write their own sentence which they make up themselves.
Have a good weekend!

Week beginning 05.11.18
What a brilliant array of firework outfits we had at school yesterday - Well Done! It was a great effort by all! Thank you for supporting us and for bringing in raffle prizes.
This week we have introduced story scribing where we sit with the children 1:1 and they tell us their story. The adult writes the story emphasising all the writing skills. As the children become more familiar with phonics they start taking the pencil from the adult and writing the sounds that they can hear in the words. At the end of the session they get to act their story out with their friends in front of the whole class which they thoroughly enjoy.
This week the story of the week is The 3 Billy Goats Gruff as we are continuing with traditional tales. We hope that the children may begin to use some of the features from these stories in their own stories.
In maths the number of the week is 5.We will be looking at height and comparing the heights of different things by just looking at them and putting them in order by height. We will also be learning how to estimate by looking at a group of objects and making a sensible guess about how many objects there are.
In phonics the sounds this week are u, y, x, e and k and the stories will be in book bags on Friday. If you need clarification about how to say and sounds or how to do any of the actions please don't hesitate to come and see us.
We are introducing woodwork this week so the children learn basic woodwork skills and can make whatever they like using these skills.
Cooking is continuing this week and the children are all able to have a go at making cupcakes.
We hope you all got on ok with the name writing homework last week. This week we will send home a big talk homework with instructions!
Have a good week!
