Week Beginning: 04 November 2019

NURSERY

Our new topic in nursery this week will be based around the story called "Whatever Next" by Jill Murphy.


Through our group times we will be talking about friendships and being kind, what can we do to look after our world. Making  models from junk boxes.


If you do have any size boxes at home we would love to recycle them into rockets.
Please look at the board in the garden area for weekly and daily updates.


We are so pleased to see more parents access tapestry, the children really do like to share their experiences with their friends. Please keep them coming.

RECEPTION

This week in reception our book focus is the three little pigs. We will be looking at different materials and which are best to build a house with. We will also be recapping all sounds we have learnt in phonics as well as learning h, b and f. In maths we will be focusing on recognising numbers and talking about numbers that will come next in a number line.

Maths: It's time to learn about time again! We will be looking at roman numerals to 12 and telling the time in the digital format this week.

Curriculum: After our assessments last week, we are starting our science topic on Rocks, Soils and Fossils this week and our History work on the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We have lots of fun, new curriculum topics this term including music, art and a new indoor PE curriculum, which we are looking forward to teaching.

We will also begin our topic about the Romans. 


The children have been asked to produce a piece of work, big or small, to be displayed within the classroom. This can be a drawing, a piece of writing , a model or something even more imaginative - we have left it up to them!
