Welcome to Term Three.

We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break with family and friends. Thank you so much for our lovely Christmas gifts and cards, It was very kind.

Please keep checking the website regularly for more information and updates.

Miss Horton and the EYFS Team 

We created a poppy wreath for our Remembrance Day display. We have been learning about why we wear poppies and we also did our two minutes silence.

Keira made her own poppy picture at home which we added to our display.

Term Two Dinosaur Stomp

and Christmas!

Christingle

Reverend Matt kindly came and led a Christingle Service with our class. Before he came we made our Christingles, learning about what each of the things represents:

an orange for the whole world,

a red ribbon for the love of Jesus,

the treats for the good things in our lives,

the candle because Jesus is the light of the world.

Please ask the children to tell you about the Christingle.

On Monday we found something unusual in our classroom. There was a nest with 2 eggs in. Miss Horton wasn't sure how they got there. We have been writing about what we think are in the eggs

on our Egg Watch.

We have been focusing on the number 5 and we used our understanding of number 5 to find 5 leaves for our autumn crowns, on our welly walk in the Sensory Garden.

Autumn leaves are so much fun!

How you can help at home.

In Phonics we are recapping all of the sounds that we have been learning this term. Please continue to practise these at home with your children and ask them to draw pictures to match the sounds in their Phonics Book.

Reading is key! Please continue to read stories at home with your child and write in your child's Reading Record each day to let me know what your child is doing at home.

We are focusing on the numbers 9 and 10. Please count anything and everything and look out for those numbers in particular in your environment. Numberblocks on CBeebies is also a good resource for learning numbers.

Have fun at home letting the children tell you about their week at school and what they have learnt. Look at the information on this class page together to help them remember.

Lego Models

The children have been busy making lots of different models using Lego. They have then written about their models on special Lego paper. They are really enjoying building and writing!

Term One Marvellous Me!

Is that what friends do?

We have been reading the story 'Is that what friends do?' by Marjorie Newman. We discussed what we should and should not do to our friends and now we are working hard to be the best friends we can!

We're going on a welly walk!

We had a fantastic welly walk to the sensory garden last week. The sun was shining and we heard lots of wonderful sounds, including a helicopter!

Fabulous and Fun Fundamentals!

The children made all of the teachers very proud in our PE session. They were able to get themselves undressed and dressed for PE, even on a non-uniform day!

The children then listened really well to the instructions during our busy PE session.

They warmed up to the 'Beans' and 'Gears' games.

They had loads of fun doing team races too!

We have been reading a wonderful story by Audrey Penn called

'The Kissing Hand'.

The children have enjoyed listening to the story and it has helped them to settle into school knowing that they can still feel the love of their families.

Each of the children have made their own kissing hand to bring home for their family to show that they love them too.

Marvellous Me

It has been wonderful getting to know the children. We have been looking through their All About Me books. The children have been sharing them well with each other and the adults in the class.

The children have also made their homes with pictures of their families inside.

One of the other activities they have done is paint self portraits. Take a look at them below.
