BOOK WEEK

We have had a fabulous week sharing books from different world locations. The children have written a book review, made fans, completed a maze, created their own silly stew, made flags and created some original Aboriginal art. The children also enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate and came to school dressed in some marvelous creations.

BEDTIME STORIES

As it has not been possible to welcome children back to school for the traditional bed time stories, the class teachers have donned their dressing gowns and have each filmed a story from around the world.

Mrs Bevan is reading Wombat Stew; Mrs Markall is reading Where the Wild Things Are; Mr Dismore is reading The Cave and Mrs Schwartz is reading Dangerous.

We hope you enjoy these stories – we enjoyed reading them.

Mrs Schwartz – 0SM

Mr Dismore – 0D

Mrs Bevan – 0BM

Mrs Markall – 0BM

Reading and writing

We have sent home the Set 1 high frequency keywords (robot words) for your children to practise reading and writing. These words are mum, dad, am, cat, dog, my and I. We have also been teaching the following sounds: m,a,s,d,t,i,n,p,g,and o. You may like to practise reading some words made with these sounds e.g. dad, pit, pop and dig.

W/C 3nd November 2020

Our new topic for the term is dinosaurs.

This week we will be:

Colour mixing to create a dinosaur display.

Learning to say and read four new sounds (c, k, u, b) and how to form them correctly. We will be recapping all the sounds we have learnt and using them to write CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words.

Following on from Black History Month, we will read a range of books by black authors and celebrate diversity by sharing what makes us unique. We will share what we have learnt in a class assembly with another year group.

Learning how to measure objects’ lengths, heights and capacities using standard and non-standard units of measure.

The children have had great fun creating their own self portraits, so we thought we would share these with you.

We are three classes based in Little WASPS. We play and we learn using the inside and outside environment. We have a dedicated play area outside where we explore using all our senses. During the year we make new friends, have fun and we find out about ourselves, dinosaurs, people who help us, growth, animals and traditional tales.

Class 0BM – Mrs Bevan and Mrs Markall supported by Mrs Geddis and Miss Payne. Mrs Bevan loves to spend time in her garden (or on the golf course) while Mrs Markall enjoys singing and dancing.

Class 0SM – Mrs Schwartz and Mrs Markall supported by Mrs Jones. Mrs Schwartz has returned to WASPS following her maternity leave. She is very artistic and musical and enjoys exploring outside.

Class 0D – Mr Dismore supported by Mrs Awramenko, Mrs Beech and Mrs Waite. Mr Dismore loves the outside and is a keen sportsman.
