Homework

Your child will be given homework every Friday. Please support your child in completing this homework to help them consolidate their phonics learning. Homework is due in the following Friday. However, your child can return their homework as soon as it is completed.

Box Clipart Vector Images (over 5,300)

On a Friday, one child in class will be chosen as our special person. When it is your child’s turn, they will come home with a note to say they are the special person. Please collect five special things that are important to your child and discuss why they are special to them. It could be a teddy they have had since they were a baby, a certificate that they have been awarded or a photo of a family party. Once you have discussed them, please take a photograph and upload it to Class Dojo by the following Thursday, to enable the child to talk about why these items are special to them.

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised

Once Upon a Time

In maths, this week we will be:

  • comparing groups of the same object with a big difference in number, and then a small difference.

  • comparing by looking, then by matching 1-to-1.

  • understanding when groups have an equal amount.

  • comparing groups of objects that are of different sizes, colours or attributes.

  • beginning to generalise about ‘1 more/1 less’ within 10.

  • developing a sense of magnitude, e.g. knowing that 8 is a lot more than 2, but that 4 is only a little bit more than 2.

Police visit
Chestnut and Willow Class were very fortunate to have a visit from the police. The children learned all about the officers’ jobs and even had the chance to try on parts of their uniforms. Everyone was very excited to sit in the driver’s seat of the police van and turn on the siren!
What I want to be when I grow up
The children in Reception were all very excited to come to school dressed as what they would like to be when they grow up. We had many different job roles, such as firefighters, police officers, ballerinas, and teachers. In the afternoon, the children put on a wonderful performance for their parents.
