PHEW!!!! Big school is super tiring!

Early Years Class • May 8, 2024

Wow!!

We have had a super exciting first week back at school full of learning and fun! We have had lots of fun sharing our new book… Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy. We have talked about how we would get to space and what space would look like and made our own rockets from junk, building blocks, play doh and all sorts of things we could find! 

The adults are really impressed with how well we are doing learning our phonics and using our Fred talk… we are now learning special friends (2 letters 1 sound). Soon we will be able to join some of the bigger children to progress even further!

 

In maths we have been looking at our numbers to 5. We have had lots of fun subitising with our eyes, ordering numbers and matching objects to numbers.

 

We have a very busy month this month with our reading breakfast, lunch with our adults, Randini and a trip to the cinema! Oh and who could forget Christmas and the nativity!

We cant wait!

 

Last term was super busy too… we had such fun walking to the church with the big children. We felt very proud of ourselves how we performed in front of a big audience for the first time. We had our Aspiration Day… this is where we got to dress up for the job we would like to do when we are bigger… we had lots of fun learning about these jobs.

AND… we had our attendance treat as we managed to get all of our letters – we had ice cream AND popcorn!
