Topic

  

This term we learnt about jobs in our school and went to visitor different people and places in school. We had fun going around the school and meeting the cook, the librarian, the head teacher and the office staff and they were able to make observations about where these people work and what they use in their jobs. We then learned about Christianity and the children were able to talk about a place that was special to them. We got to visit West Ham parish church! The children walked to the Church and they had fun looking around the Church to find different religious artefacts. We are very excited for our Nativity performance coming up and we have been trying our best to practice all the songs working as a team.

Literacy

 

 

In Literacy, we have been exploring a range of books related to the topic of people and places, from our significant person’s biography to role playing a range of different jobs.  We have been continuing to work through our sounds in phonics and practice letter formation and recognition, while we kept practising our names. We are even beginning to decode, blend and write the words. We spoke about what we saw at the Church on our first educational visit. In addition, we have been developing our comprehension skills through story times and our free flow, as well as beginning to ask questions.

Maths

This term in maths, we have been looking at numbers from 6 to 9 and learning to recognise the numbers, write them and count objects. We learnt that the total stays the same when we separate an amount. We have also looked at positional language and describe where the teddy was in the classroom. We have developed our communication and language skills by using vocabulary to describe 2D shape in the environment. “The red triangle has  3 sides and 3 corners.”, “I can see a circle on the clock it has no corners.” We have also enjoyed a range of exploratory maths activities during our free-flow session and learnt to build our resilience and not give up.
