Thank you to those of you who brought your sponsor money in on Friday! The children had such a great day; taking part in a challenging exercise session and extra PE time with Mr Nay. We also listened to Craig McCann, who shared his sporting story, leaving the children feeling inspired to reach for their dreams. The children are now even more enthused about sports and PE!
Earlier in the week, the children took part in Safer Internet Day. Many of them recognised that we use the internet when using a phone, IPad and some watches but they were shocked to hear that even doorbells can use the internet too! Reception are very aware of how to be safe when using equipment that connects to the internet and many explained how they use the internet safely at home. Well done Reception.
In phonics this week we have been learning the alternative (short) oo sound as in book, cook, shook.
Please support you child in identifying this sound in words along with the long oo sound.
In maths this week we have been looking at tricky teen numbers. Using ten frames the children are gaining a greater understanding that teen numbers are 1 lot of 10 and then some more ones. Please practise over the half term recognising the numbers to 20.
