Autumn 1 -  All About Me

Monday 22nd - Friday 26th September 

Phonics

This week we have continued to learnt the sound 'm', 'a', 's'  'd' and t. We have learnt to read and write each sound. Please practise these sounds at home as we will move on next week to learn 4 more sounds.

Reading

We have been enjoying the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children loved acting out the story in our role-play area, making “porridge” in the mud kitchen, and exploring different sized chairs, pans, and bowls. They also drew wonderful pictures of the Three Bears’ house. It has been fantastic to see their imagination and storytelling shine through!

Writing 

This week, we have been making a class book called 'All About Foundation' which has our favourite food, favourite toy and favourite colour. We will share the book with another class so they can get to know us. 

Maths

This week we have been exploring Match, Sort and Compare! We have made lots of patterns with different toys and objects, talked about size using the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and even weighed different things from our classroom. Maths is everywhere, and we are having so much fun discovering it!

Big Picture

This week we have been learning about how we grow and change from babies to grown-ups. We made our own timelines to show this. We have also been exploring our five senses – tasting yummy foods, going on a sight walk, listening to sounds around us, and feeling different things in our “feely bag.” We had so much fun discovering the world with our senses!

RE

This week we continued learning about our value 'Thankfulness'. We read the story 'Puddles Lends a Paw' and thought about how Puddles helped people and how those people would be thankful for the help puddles gave. The story also introduced us to different parts of the church like the alter, pews, font & Pulpit etc.
