Dear Parents,
This week we have started our new topic of growing we carried on observing our seeds that we planted before half term. Some of our sunflowers are really growing big but some of our beanstalks have not yet appeared! We have been using rulers to measure them to see if they have grown. Some of us have seen a 2cm growth in just one week. Its super exciting.
We have also been on our trip to Astbury Garden Centre where we looked at the things they sell and talked about why people would use them. We have made a list of the things we would like in our garden centre and Miss Irwin is going to put it on the blog to see if anybody has anything spare in their gardens that we can borrow for our role-play. Miss Irwin did remind us that it was probably unlikely we might no get to borrow a dove house or water feature but spare ornaments, potted plants might come in!
In our phonics this week we have gone onto our next set of sounds- we are now on GREEN sounds. The green sounds are blends. We have learnt that when we see blends at the end of the word we can squeeze them together and say them faster. For example instead of saying l d, we now say ld. We have been on blend hunts and are spotting them in words around the classroom and in our bug club books we are doing really well.
Next week on Monday Mr O’Leary will be teaching the class Miss Irwin has instructed us to help Mr O’Leary all day because he might not know where things are or how we do things in Class Jonah so we all have to be his helpers. We will be doing P.E on Monday afternoon with him so we all need our P.E kits in school.
In Maths next week we will continue to measure but we are also going to start learning about money and what the value of coins are. In our writing we will be sequencing stories and how plants grown and practising writing our super sentences.
How you can help at home:
*Practising writing words with end blends in e.g
*Look at coins and see what coins we recognise- are they different colours, do they have numbers on them, do we know the names of them?
Notice
Please make sure you have read the School-Newsletter-3rd-April-2014
as it has lists of what the children are expected to wear for Astbury May Day and asks for donations for the stalls. We will be starting our dancing this next week. Costumes will be supplied nearer the time.
Girls need: white pumps and white socks.
Boys need: black pumps, white socks and a white long sleeved shirt.
It might be worth while talking to parents from last year to see if they have any out grown pumps or shirts they don’t need anymore. There is a white pair of girls pumps with Miss Irwin as donated by Mrs Edgerton-Brooks from last year. Check with Miss Irwin for size.
Mrs Rowe found these pumps in Primark for only £2.50!
Have a nice weekend
Miss Irwin and Miss Kippen
