Happy New Year! We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas holidays and Santa came to the boys and girls!
Our theme until February half term is “Helping Hands”. We are going to be learning about people who help us. We will learn about the roles of a teacher, the school cook, a fire fighter, a doctor and nurse and the police. We will have some visitors in the classroom and we will act out the various roles at playtime.
Maybe you could point out some people who help in the community when you’re out and about with your child?
Reading is going well! We are very encouraged by the children’s progress, thank you for helping with this at home! J
Just keep practising at home each night. Make sure your child recognises the key words in each book e.g. and, a, the, is, it, had.
We will be visiting the school library, where your child will get to choose one library book per week. Remember to take good care of these and return them promptly. We’re sure your child would love you to take some time to enjoy the book with them.
Please note: all missing books, whether reading books or library books will cost £5.
In Numeracy, we will be learning how to write the numbers 6 – 10. Again, we use the little rhymes to help the children remember the correct formation.
Keep practising these at home – we always say that practice makes perfect!
6 – down we go and make a loop, number 6 makes a hoop.
7 – across the sky and down from heaven, that’s the way we make a 7
8 – make a ‘s’ and do not wait, that’s the way we make an 8
9 – make a loop and then a line, that’s the way we make a 9
10 – first a one, then a zero, number 10 is our hero!
