Penguins back together!

Date: 14th Jun 2024 @ 2:40pm

It has been lovely to have our penguin family back together this week. They have had so much exciting news to tell and they are so proud of their 'All about me' books which have some lovely pictures and memories to share. (These books will go into the year one class for a short time so they can share them with the class teachers).

We have started our new topic - We are explorers! The penguins have been learning about pirates this week and they certainly have had fun making ships, dressing up and making Mrs. Morrison and I walk the plank! We are going to talk about maps next week and have a walk into Longton to create a map. We have a class map and the children have been reading the coordinates to plot the pirate pictures.

In maths we have been doing addition and subtractions up to 5. Some children have even been working up to the number 10.

In our phonics we have revisited the sound 'ue' and we have a funny feeling that next week the phonics fairy might deliver a new sound. We have made silly sentences using words such as statue, rescue and Tuesday. In our writing we are remembering to use our swooshes and flicks (the Longton Primary cursive script) and finger spaces between our words. Thank you for your help and support with writing - the children really have 'wowed' us this week!

Reading books were changed a little later this week but next week it will be back to two colour teams on Tuesday and two teams on Wednesday. Pip penguin is still coming home each week so please continue to read each day.

Next week we will continue with our road safety. Please send a coat each day as we plan to be outside as much as we can. We have our fingers crossed for some sunshine!

Have a lovely weekend.
