We have had a busy year learning the sounds of all letters (uppercase and lowercase). We have learnt 20 golden words and are learning CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. The children have been listening carefully and identifying the initial, middle and end sound. We have also been busy counting, subitising and using new mathematical language. We are so proud of what they are achieving in literacy and numeracy!
Literacy
We will be reviewing our sounds, golden words and CVC words.
Speaking and listening continue to be a focus. We are enjoying listening to the celebrations that you have in your homes.
Numeracy
We are reviewing numbers 1 to 19. We will continue to identify missing numbers and count on from different starting points.
During week 5, we will be making patterns with fruit. When we have created our pattern we will be having a picnic under the trees (weather permitting). We would appreciate it if you could please share one piece of fruit with our class (the brighter the better!). These we will be washed and cut in the morning ready for our numeracy activities.
Dancing
Dancing resumes Monday afternoon and will continue until the end of the term.
Blue Group Assembly
Our assembly item will be held on Thursday morning during week 7. We have begun rehearsals with Room 4. Each child will have a speaking part. A note will go home outlining what your child will be saying, to practise at home. As it is a Christmas Theme, we ask that on the day your child wears Christmas colours and a Santa Hat (if you have one).
