We are really settling into the routine of work and already there have been many improvements and lots of thing that have been learned. It is so lovely to see children who are striving hard to take responsibility for their learning and who are becoming more and more like the learning characters each day.
All children have now completed their Star Reading tests and have been given their new ZPD and reading targets. (We have stuck a little sheet in the front of their reading record book (little green book) so that you can see new ZPDs and targets. Please make sure all reading books and reading record books are returned to school on a daily basis. Thank you
At the end of each day, we have continued to share the daily Examen and reflected on our day. We have thought about the things that have happened throughout the day and also whether they have been things that have made us and others happy or whether they have been things that we are sorry that we have done because they have hurt ourselves or others. Each day we think about what we would like to say “Thank you” for.
We have continued to look at “Numbers to 1000,” counting objects, ordering numbers and thinking where to find a number on a number line to 1,000. In English we have been looking at sentences making sure that we are writing them correctly so that they make sense and use correct punctuation. We have continued to identify different parts of a sentences. We have also started to look at complex sentences and how these are written. In RE, we have thought about the Creation story and all of the things that God created. We have discussed how to look after God’s world and we have written some lovely prayers to thank God for all of the things that He created. We have continued to think about ourselves and our feelings, knowing that we are all special and loved. This week we have thought about our dreams for our class, our school, our families, our town, country and the world. The children all shared a lovely dream for the class and we have discussed how we can all work together to help our dreams to be achieved. How lovely it will be if we can achieve all of our dreams. This week we have started our history topic about the Stone Age. The children have been so enthusiastic and we can’t wait to explore the topic further. In science the children have started their topic of living things and their environment.
This week our certificates go to Lily-Mae and Daisy. Lily-Mae receives a Concentrating Cooper Crab certificate for being so focused on her work and for really thinking carefully and trying so hard with all of her work. Lovely neat handwriting as well! Well done Lily-Mae, I know that you are going to have an amazing year if you keep this up. Daisy receives a Co-operative Roger Robin certificate for being such a wonderful caring member of the class who is always ready and willing to help others, whether it is her learning partner or just generally within the class. Thank you so much Daisy, keep up these kind deeds. We are all so grateful for your help. We are also proud to say that Charlie got the lunchtime Role Model of the Week Well done Charlie - what a good example you have set.
