This week our learning is focusing on our book Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosaurs.
As wonderful writers we will… Practise holding pencils correctly to enable us to form letters. Practise forming the letter ‘c’ in our cursive font. Attempt to sound out words as we write labels on pictures of dinosaurs.
As magnificent mathematicians we will… Begin to represent numbers using fingers, marks on paper or picture. Select the correct numeral to write the number six. Build on our knowledge of numbers by singing counting to 10 songs and doing small whole class tasks to develop our number knowledge.
As awesome athletes we will … Develop independence in changing for PE. Discuss the rules for PE. We will begin to listen to a piece of music and develop different dance routines.
As resilient readers we will… Retell the story of Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosaurs. We will be answering questions about the story and skimming and scanning to find out information. We will also be looking for proper nouns with The Noun Clown!
As computing experts we will … Operate simple equipment including our CD players, learning what each button stands for. Explore the iPads using the app Letter Lillies.

Parent Helpers Welcome! 
We welcome parents into school, to help our children to improve their reading skills. If you are able to spare a morning or an afternoon, on a regular basis, please let your child’s teacher know. We are very appreciative of your additional support, and it makes a huge difference to the children’s learning. We would love you to come and join us! Tea and coffee provided too! Reading Challenge 
Don’t forget to read for 5 minutes, 5 times a week! Your reading Challenge Slip must be returned on MONDAY MORNING so the ‘scores on the doors’ can be collated by class teachers during registration and sent to the school office. A KS1 class has never topped the leader board! We need 75% of our classes to read to meet Mrs Ashford’s challenge. Class Prizes available too. Come on EYFS let’s keep reading!
Maths
In the Autumn term we will develop our number knowledge and introduce numbers 1-10. Children need to be able to …
- Count reliably from 1-10.
- Place numbers 1-10 in order.
- Say which number is 1 more or one less than a given number (1-10).
Along with number knowledge children also need to be able to:
- Name and recognise 2d and 3d shapes.
- Describe the position of themselves using words such as ‘next to’ and ‘behind’.
- Order items based on their height, length, weight or capacity.
- Use objects to create patterns and build models.
We love singing our counting songs here are some links to some so you can sing them at home:
