encouraging them to ask questions. The children asked some really good questions

through the week – Why do we need to brush our hair? How do you make a pencil case?

What makes a rainbow? Why do we need to eat breakfast? If your child asks any

questions at home, please do take the time to answer them and let us have the

questions for the learning journals - we can chat about them as a class!

Space, shape and measure this week we have covered, size and length. The children

have engaged really well with both the language and being able to order and compare

the different sized objects.

Next week, we will focus back on number-children making 10 (up to 20 for some

children) in different ways. For example making 10 using sets of 3, 3 and 4 cubes and

understanding that the total will always be 10; they will have neither added or

removed, any cubes. We will use the terms separate, group, set and total. For some

children this is quite a difficult concept and needs regular practise. It also gives them

lots of opportunities to count accurately. They will be able to use small dinosaurs, farm

animals, tiny dolls-their choice!

Changing reading books-if you would like your child’s reading book changed, please will

you leave the book and yellow reading record book in the tray in the classrooms?

Please note Please will you check white tee shirts and check that your child has the

right one? We have misplaced one white tee shirt after having got changed for PE on

Monday this week. Thank you

Parents Evening - Wednesday 7th Nov (early with crèche) and Thurs 8

Nov. The

sign sheets for a 10 minute slot will be up outside the classroom on Monday morning.

Please register your child at the office for the crèche if you need it. For parents who

do not come into school (bus, out of school club, child minders) please ring school to

make an appointment-thankyou.

Future date –Thursday 24

October - we are inviting you to come into our classrooms

and share the Learning Journal with your child. Please feel free to stay from when you

drop your child off until 9.30am. This will be a regular event-so if you cannot make this

date, there will be more and we will let you know via this newsletter. Please note that

at any time, you can take your child’s learning journal home for a short time.

Home activity - the children might like to make a number line. This can be 0-10 or 0-

20. They can use cut up paper to write the numbers on-wall paper is always great

because it can be as long as they need it to be! If they want to make it glittery and

used

shiny, brilliant. Children love it when their work is displayed and actually

. I am

hoping that we can use the number lines they produce-waiting in anticipation…..!

Only one more week to breaking up next Friday. The children are ready for the half

term break-they have learned so well through play and we are seeing great progress

after only half a term in school.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.
