Hello families,
Welcome the P2B Bouncing Bunnies Blog for Friday 27th of September.
Timetables, Dates and Reminders
- PE is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Our next loose parts session is on Monday 30th of September
- Our following Loose Parts session is on Wednesday 9th October.
- Miss Kelly takes the class on Wednesdays.
- We have a short show and tell session on Tuesdays 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. The Librarian looks after our class reading corner and will bring in from home, or choose from the class library, a favourite book for Mr Bennett to read 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.)
- Reading books come home on a Friday as a way for the children to showcase their learning to you, not as homework. Please return these on Mondays.
- Purple Folders: These need to come to school daily as there are often items of paperwork that may be damaged in a standard bag.

Your tempest photo order forms should have gone home yesterday (or today if an appropriate dry bag or purple folder wasn’t available yesterday). The brilliant Mrs George wanted me to say you have until October 10th to order to save on the delivery charge.
Literacy
Our class sound focus this week was on ow and oa as in snow and boat. We have also revised ay and ai, as in bay and rain.
To extend the learning at home be on the lookout for things that have ow and oa, and ay and ai in their name.
We have also done our Big Writing this week and the effort put in was amazing.
Science
We have begun our new topic of Sun, Moon and Stars this week. We looked at Sun facts and we became the Sun Moon and Earth to work out how all three move around.
Maths and Numeracy
We have been moving on with addition this week within 10, 20 and 30. We have also been reviewing our number bonds towards this. Focusing on those number bonds to 10 (1+9, 2+8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6 etc) can be supercharging to our adding and subtracting in class.
Play
P2B put those new blocks to good use this week with a fabulous chocolate factory being built, showing amazing sorting skills.
We have also seen some wonderful designer handbags being made in the area and a lovely dog costume head.
The Mr Bennett Bit
I am looking forward to seeing all our families next week at parent consultations. I was also really impressed with how the children tackled their big writing task this week. When we do big writing we are not allowed to provide support, only encouragement, so as to get an accurate snapshot of your child’s current independent skills. It can be a very emotional day. This week everybody put in an amazing effort and it was a pleasure to see the class achieve so much independently.
Have a fabulous weekend Bouncing Bunnies
Mr Bennett.
