Firstly, thank you to all of you that attended the maths/information session on Monday! If you were unable to attend I have printed out the presentation that I gave and I can also give you a handout that includes a few ideas you could use at home that are maths related!
All the information about the term will be on the newsletter that will come home with your child this Friday. We have a few trips this term so if anyone is available on those days please mention it to us.
We have started our new topic: Chinese New Year and have looked at the story traditionally told. I wonder if any children can remember some of the animals that were in the race and what positions they came. In relation to the story we begun looking at ordinal numbers in maths.
Today we had a visit from a very special creature. Courtesy of Mrs. Thorpe all the children were able to see and touch a turtle! All the children were very excited about the visit and asked some very good questions. I wonder if any children can tell you anything that they've learnt today about turtles?
Throughout the rest of the week we will be writing some descriptions about the different animals that took part in the race as well as matching objects up to various number cards. The children have also been working very hard to make origami butterflies! These look very good and we have hung the first few up in the classroom.
P.S - Some children will have come home with new sounds in their sound pot. Please try and use these with your children to familiarise them with the new set of sounds we have covered in class. If anyone needs any help with the sounds please come and ask and we'll be happy to help.
