Hello families,
Welcome to issue 3 of the 2024/25 P2B Bouncing Bunnies Blog!
Timetables, Dates and Reminders
- PE is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Our next loose parts session is on Friday 30th of August.
- Miss Kelly takes the class on Wednesdays.
- We have a short class show and tell session each Tuesday focused on achievements and souvenirs of special experiences.
- Your child needs a spare change of clothes in school in case of spills or getting caught in the rain etc. If your child is wearing these home one day can we have a replacement the next day.
- We have a rotating list of class responsibilities each week. One of these is our librarian. As well as looking after our class reading books the librarian will bring in from home, or choose from the class library, a favourite book for Mr Bennett to read at story time on Fridays.
- Our shared area is always in need of clean and dry cardboard boxes etc for junk modelling. Skip the recycling and bring yours in (no packaging from dairy products or nut products for the safety of those area users with allergies please.) A big thanks to all who have contributed. Please keep it coming. And a special thank you to Robin and family who collected the largest haul of junk modelling supplies yet.
- If you have not returned your KIC form can we ask that it is returned ASAP as we cannot take trips and walks off of school grounds without them.
- Blue learning story folders should all be back in school so that we can begin filling them with this year’s learning.
- Reading books will be now be going out from the week after the September break in order to better co-ordinate our planning with P2D.
Literacy
Our class sound focus this week was on Ee and Ea digraphs. We discussed how ai tends to appear in the middle of words like pain, train, chair and tail. We also looked at how ay tends to appear at the end of words like pay, play, stay and hay.
Maths and Numeracy
In addition to our SEAL sessions we have been looking at Information Handling. Ms Kelly has had the children taking tallies and making bar graphs. Meanwhile Mr Bennett took the bunnies outside this week for some outdoor learning about Venn Diagrams.
Topic Play
In class this week we have continued to see many kinds of house and home built.
We also had some spontaneous focus on aliens and space ships inspired by our houses and homes mention of farm houses.
Health and Wellbeing
In PE this week we have tried some football skills around dribbling.
We have begun our feelings study of “The Colour Monster”. We had some excellent pictures of emotions.
The Mr Bennett Bit
I was really impressed with the amazing way the class tackled the Venn diagrams and sorted the objects into such amazing groups.
Have a fabulous weekend Bouncing Bunnies
Mr Bennett.
