Fabulous Friday Weekly Round up!

 As we approach the final week of the term, the children have had amazing week despite being tired. 

Our phonics focus has been the following:

We would like to thank you for your continued support with the Phonics Book.

In Maths, we are using a counting stick to begin each lesson. We focus on accurate counting forward and backward, counting on from a given number and describing where in the number line we can find a certain number.

Our focus this week has been on the Number 4. We have explored how 4 can be represented in many arrangements. The children use spatial language to describe how it is made, such as 2 blocks on the bottom and 2 blocks on top. We then used multilink in pairs to make our own representations and describe it using taught vocabulary.

Funnybones by Janet and Allan Ahlberg has been our focus text for the week. The children recited the story as the skeletons went through the dark dark street, to the dark dark park and onto the dark dark swings!

We chose Dem Bones for Rhyme time to tie in with the text. The children thought it was funny to be a dancing skeleton and made links to the story.

RW and RB have been looking at the Zones of Regulation in PSED and how it is different from the previously used Colour Monster. We discussed how the Yellow Zone means stop and think for example if we are getting too excited or starting to feel bubbly or cross. The children know to find an adult to help them return to the Green 'ready to learn' Zone.

Please look at our photos for more learning memories.

Have an amazing weekend and we will look forward to seeing you next week for the last week of Autumn 1.
