Wow!
What a final week. The children have worked so hard on the Christmas show and it showed with the enjoyment and confident they portrayed.
The children were all amazing showing confidence, concentration and competence on their performance on Tuesday.
We managed to continue with our phonics and Christmas Math's sessions and also so on a scavenger hunt outside.
Thank you for all your support at home this term.
Please keep up the reading with the children over the holidays it makes a huge difference to their confidence and progression the short 5 minute regualar reading session you do at home. We are no w looking at fluency in the reading of the CVC words. that means after a few goes they children recognise the words and can read them without blending them in ' Fred Talk'
Math's you can bring in at any time. Playing board games, setting the table looking for shapes and their properties.
Try and use the words 'one more than' one less than and see if they can tell you the answer.
Thank you again for all your support.
Mrs Oddy and Mrs Hemingway and Mrs Pearce.

What a busy week.
We have started our Christmas play rehearsals this week.
We have done our termly phonics assessment and all children are progressing at their own pace which is good.
Please spend time practicing reading with your child at home at least 3 times a week. It only takes 5 minutes to read a ditty or blend or one story in the book.
The difference it can make for your child not only with progression but confidence is enormous. We can't listen to your child every day in school as that's all we would do but you have this gift to do at home.
Please look on teams at the videos to show you how to read with your child.
Dress REHEARSAL 13th December. Please could we have the outfits into school in a named bag before this date.

This week we have been learning about the jobs that Police Officers do.
Yes, they keep us safe and protect us but they also go to road traffic accident and come into school to talk to children.
In number work we have been working on decomposition of 4 and 5. All the number facts to make these numbers. We need to know this without aids to achieve our Good Level of Development.
We made hand cuffs, emergency vehicles and played Cops and Robbers in the woods.
We are performing our Dress Reversal for our Christmas play on Thursday 12th December. Please make sure you have a costume in a named bag before this date.
Any problems please come and see us as we have a few in school.

Every child learns at a different page so please don't worry if your child in on a different reading book to other children.

Hello,
What a cold week we had. The children had much delight on Monday morning. We had a little play in the snow but some quickly realised why we wear gloves and hats in the winter months and why its important that we learn to zip up own own coat (a bit of homework if they can't do this, thank you).
In math's work we have been comparing 4 and 5 and working out all the number facts for these amounts using our subitising skills.
Our topic this week was Vets, doctors and nurses. People who help us in our community. We looked in a first aid kit and saw what was in and what it was used for. We also had a go at using the bandages on each other.
Thank you for the baking money we are well on the way with flap jacks.
Here are a few highlights
Thank you for your support at home.
Next week we are looking at the job a police officer does.
Please check in your child's bag for a Christmas play letter with your child's line the are to say and their costume.
We have some in school they can borrow.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Oddy and the Team
