During this week, we have been practising our Christmas songs for the nativity. You may have even heard the children singing them at home. They are enjoying learning the songs and creating actions for them.
Our poem of the week this week is Wise Old Owl. Please encourage your child to share this with you and discuss the key vocabulary.
We are encouraging the children to begin sentence writing during our writing sessions and in the areas. We ask them to think of a sentence, count it, try and write it and then check it. We are not expecting these to be accurate but we are trying to develop a love of writing and modelling the thought process.
Math
We have been working on numeral recognition this week. The children have been finding numbers and then selecting the correct amount of objects to match the number. Alongside this, we’re supporting the children with their accuracy with counting and recognising that the number they finish on is the amount they have – the stopping number.
Help at home: by pointing out numbers in the environment
We have been having lots of fun both inside and outside this week. The children have been working as a team to erect different buildings.
