Busy Giraffes!

Date: 19th Oct 2022 @ 9:57pm

The giraffes have been very busy again this week.

In maths we have continued our work on patterns and size. We have had some tricky number puzzles this week that the children have enjoyed. Our maths work was carried out in the water area, in our autumn tray and also in our mark making area.

We have been learning about our bodies, our teeth and our bones. The children are keen to brush their teeth for two minutes and also learn the song attached below.

Because we have been talking about bones we have been reading the ‘Funnybones’ story. You will see from the pictures below that we made a story map. The children have enjoyed retelling the story to each other. Some of the children have created their own Funnybones stories. They were very proud of their stories and read them out to our class! Well done Giraffes!

Thank you for your hard work with reading and learning our sounds. We have changed the books ready for the half term. Please read the books several times and continue to use the sound cards to make very simple words such as ‘rat, cat, pull, rock’.

A homework book will be sent home tomorrow with tasks to be completed over the half term holiday. These tasks build on the skills the children have been developing. Please return the homework book on Tuesday 1st November.

Please continue to send the reading book and reading record book to school each day.

Thank you

Mrs. Thomson
