Moral conscious theme: School Rules – we spoke about how rules are important because they keep us safe and they allow us to have an environment that flows smoothly. One of our rules is that we do not run in class and that is because we could get hurt or hurt others. We also spoke about how there are rules in most establishments and not only in schools. 

Writing and Phonics: We started the year off by introducing ourselves and discussing what we did for the holidays, the children were so excited to share their stories. We also went over our letters of the alphabet (sounds and letter names).  

Mathematics: For maths we counted to 30 and in 2’s. We were pleased to know that the Squad know their numbers. We also went over our 2D and 3D shapes – they even learnt a new song that helps with this! 

Creative Art: This week was focused around settling the children and making sure that they are ready for the year ahead. They decorated their pencil holders (tins) and this is something they will use for the remainder of the year. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

This week the Squad focused on the “at” family and wrote sentences in their workbooks using the cat method. We are so pleased with how well they are progressing with their handwriting, focusing on finger spacing and placing the letters in the correct part of the “cat”. They also decoded words using sound buttons in their TimetoRead books. Great work Squad!

The Squad have been counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. We have also introduced subtracting to 10 and they enjoy this very much. We say ‘’I bought (number) oranges and we ate (number) so we are left with …” Nice job Squad! We have also introduced the clock; this goes hand in hand with counting in 5s around the clock.
