Welcome to week 3. We have all achieved a lot this week and had lots of fun along the way!
Our letters for this week were Mm and Dd. We have now finished Jolly Phonics book 2, so we have also been reviewing Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh and Rr.
Our words for this week were it, sit, tap, I and the – we are trying really hard to use what we know about letter sounds to read these words! Please continue to practice these at home, first sounding out individual letters then blending them together to make the word (please see our weekly homework sheets in the communication book for a list of words for the week).
During our Pockets lessons, we have been learning all about toys and the materials we can use to make them. Our vocabulary that we focused on were: string, markers, paintbrushes, tape, paint, boxes, sticks and paper. Do you have any of these materials at home you can use to make your own toy?
During art this week, we painted some truly beautiful fish – I am so pleased to see how much all the children have improved their fine motor control when using paintbrushes, as well as their understanding of how color can be used to create different effects. Our artwork was so good we decided to display it on our classroom doors – please stop by and take a look!
