Hello families,
Welcome to the P2B Bouncing Bunnies Blog for Friday 4th of October.
Timetables, Dates and Reminders
- PE is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Our next loose parts session is on Wednesday 9th October.
- Our following Loose Parts session is on Tuesday 29th 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.
- Next Friday week break up for October break. The children resume on Tuesday October 22nd.
New Starter
We have had a great time this week welcoming Sienna into the class. Lots of the children have very respectfully and responsibly been showing her around the school and introducing our class routines. Many made lovely welcome cards as well. We hope you have had a great week Sienna!
Literacy
Our class sound focus this week was on oo and ew as in moon and chew. We have also revised ee and ea, as in week and beak.
To extend the learning at home be on the lookout for things that have oo and ew, and ee and ea in their name. Also work on making words with sticks, leaves and twigs, or in unusual places, such as with bath crayons.
P7 came to help us with a whole school task in our writing time this week. We were writing about what makes Buckstone brilliant.
Science
We have continued our new topic of Sun, Moon and Stars this week. We looked at moon facts and phases of the moon. If you would like to keep a moon phase diary at home that would be fabulous. There will be a sheet to support this optional extension task in purple folders today. If the night is too cloudy a little cloud symbol instead of a shaded phase is perfect.
Maths and Numeracy
We have been reviewing and extending our knowledge of number bonds again this week . We have also been working on jumping over 1, 2 or 3 numbers forwards and backwards.
Play
Loose parts was great fun as always. With the wet weather we saw a lot of mud kitchens and cook pots filled with “soup”.
Not to be out crafted by the saw a fabulous cinema complex made by some of the boys this week. Also a fabulous ice cream parlour and boat in block play.
The Mr Bennett Bit
It was great meeting all our families at parent consultations and I look forward to sharing the progress at the next round. The children have really enjoyed our topic related story over several lessons this week and last “The Rock That Fell From The Sky” by Jon Klassen. It has been fun seeing their engagement.
In French we learned “Bon Weekend” this week so do have a Bon weekend before we
Fly into another fabulous week on Monday Bouncing Bunnies!
Mr Bennett.
