This term is about settling into our new school, getting to know each other, talking about ourselves, our families and learning more about our environment.

 

Maths - We have been subitising:

What Is Subitising And Why Is It Important? (thirdspacelearning.com)

 

 

Handwriting - we have been practising our pencil grip:

 

Matching initial sounds

 

Making numberblocks puppets to practise numbers 12345

 

Practising circles and spirals in handwriting starting at the top left hand side of the board.

 

Mark making in shaving foam

 

Enjoying a good book:

 

Using tools

 

Drawing Club

So excited to start Drawing Club today. After listening to our story 'MIXED' by Arree Chung, we talked through our 'I wonder' questions and our teacher modelled her drawing and secret code (a learnt grapheme today). Then we took it in turns to wear a drawing club lanyard and do our own drawing, number and grapheme.

It's raining tomorrow 'I wonder what the colours will do?'

 

Finger gym - using hammers and pegs

 

We have had a wonderful time exploring, examining and chopping our pumpkin.

 

We have now learnt all our Phase 2 graphemes - now we need to practise, practise, practise to help us remember them all and use them to blend into words.
