Hello Bright Sparks! We have had another busy week in school – here is what we have been up to:
Literacy
This week, we have introduced the ‘a’ sound and the ‘t’ sound. We practised the sounds with Geraldine the Giraffe and did a treasure hunt around the classroom to find objects beginning with the initial sounds. It was fun finding a picture of Tanav for ‘t’, and seeing which names in the class ended with the ‘a’ sound!
Numeracy
This week, we started our SEAL programme in groups. We all worked on counting collections of objects, counting forwards not starting from 1 and numerical identification and recognition. On Friday morning during class learning through play, some children took themselves to the teaching table and started being pretending to be Miss Croal, using our SEAL tasks from this week! At home, you could practise counting a collection of objects, making sure we are using our finger to point and counting out loud!
Other Areas
In PE this week, we have been continuing to focus on spatial awareness and basic movement, such as being in a space bubble, running, marching, walking, skipping and jumping forwards with two feet. We have also enjoyed singing games and working out who was knocking on the door and tapping on the window!
Reflective Friday
This week, the Bright Sparks said they enjoyed reading stories with their P6 buddies, the ‘a’ and ‘t’ treasure hunt and counting apples.
General information:
If the classroom door is closed, please drop off/pick up your child at the office.
Please look out for the coloured paper on a Friday in the purple folder with what we have been learning this week!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Croal
