Happy New Year!
The children have all settled really well after the Christmas Holidays and have come to school eager to learn.
We have started our new topic of Numbers and Shapes and this week the children have all been very busy doing activities in class to reinforce their knowledge of basic shapes. (Circle, square, triangle, rectangle, heart and star)You can help your child at home by looking for shapes in your local environment, home and while outside. Using matching activities and shape hunts make it fun while learning at the same time.
Free painting circles and squares
Cut and stick shapes
We can find our own names
Fun with a very big box on patio!
We got some new dress up clothes.....an awful lot of arrests were made.
Not only can we find our names, we're trying to write them too!
As you can see we've been having lots of fun in class in between working hard. We are beginning to recognise our names and have been practising our pencil control in preparation for writing them too. Again, you can help your child with this by finding their name in the home in different print, e.g written or typed. Looking at simple story books and finding 'their' letters.
Next week we will also be reviewing our numbers and learning to recognise, sequence and count numbers to 10.
Have a great weekend!
