Tuesday 1st July

It is hard to believe this is the last week of term 2! 

Today at Sunflower club we practised writing the letter 'n' and learn't all about Noisy Nick. It is his ninth birthday and like lots of children he likes to make noise.

We also looked at numbers fro 1-10 and make sets. Everyone enjoyed the story about Grandma's toybox and everyone could recognise and read the numbers in the book.

Tuesday 17 June

Today we helped develop our fine motor skills by cutting and pasting. We found lots of words that started with a U sound and discovered there are two sounds - up, under and umbrella start with the same sound and uniform, unicorn and use start with a different sound.
We had a story about Uppy Umbrella and sorted an umbrella puzzle.

Tuesday 10 June

We had some new children start at Sunflower Club today and some children have their last day.

On your first day at Sunflower Club you make your very own sunflower that is dispalyed on our wall. On your last day you take your sunflower home and get to choose a book to keep. The children love choosing a new book then sharing it with their family at home.

Tuesday 20 May

We had a wonderful time at Sunflower Club today. We made some more repeating patterns and we talked about Dippy Duck. The children loved finding all the things that started with a 'd' sound using the magic pen

Tuesday 13 May

Today we made repeating patterns with concrete materials.

We had a lot of fun making the patterns and reading them to our friends.

Reading Together Programme

Today we had our first Reading Together workshop. 10 mums joined Janine - our school librarian, Danny from the public library and myself in the school library.

We talked about how to help with reading at home and I modelled a reading session with a five year old from Room 19. She did a fantastic job reading in front of so many people!

Everyone went home with some suggestions to try In the upcoming week.

Tuesday 6 May

Today we talked about Annie Apple being at the beginning of words like astronaut, animal and ant. We practised forming the letter a by going 'around, up and down.

We read a big book called Dancing Dragons and talked about the patterns and colours the dragons wearing. Then we sorted pictures into three groups - stripes, spots and flowers.
