Mrs Bennett, Mrs Allen and Miss Smith are so pleased with the way everyone has settled into school and shown such super behaviour in the classrooms. 

*As Resilient Readers we will be reading and joining in with the story Hug by Jez Alborough.

We will also be sharing a book with a grown up and talking about the setting, the characters and the story.

*As Wonderful Writers we will be drawing a picture of the people who live in our house. We will be using our phonic knowledge to write labels on our picture.

We will be learning to write the letter a in our special cursive font.

* As Marvellous Mathematicians we will be watching Numberblocks number 2 on Cbeebies

We will be singing counting songs in Awesome Maths.

We will be playing maths games on the ipads and in a small group with our teacher.

We will be telling our teachers which numbers we recognise.

*As Amazing Artists we will be experimenting with colour mixing and learning how to use the painting area sensibly by ourselves.

*In the outdoor area we will be exploring the climbing frame and tunnel, using our upper body strength to help us balance and climb. We will be playing in the mud kitchen and using the bikes and scooters.

* As Awesome Athletes we will be doing P.E. with Mr Todd on the playground. We will be practising throwing and catching, playing listening games and following instructions.

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!

Image result for bookworm reading a book clipart 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!

The Language of BAD

(Bad is good!)

We want to be challenged at Trimley St Mary.

We have been using the language of BAD to extend our learning.  We have been taking on challenges to show if we are brave, (paddling) adventurous (snorkeling) or daring (diving)!

Maths

In the Autumn term we will develop our number knowledge and introduce numbers 1-20. 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 (1-20).
  • Begin to use vocabulary involved with numbers and counting forward and back.

Along with number knowledge children also need to be able to:

  • Name and recognise 2d 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.
  • Use vocabulary related to time and money.

We love singing our counting songs here are some links to some so you can sing them at home:
