The children settled in so well after their Christmas break. They’ve been brilliant at getting back to their usual routines and we’ve been so impressed with their self-care skills. Lots of children can put their coats on themselves, get ready for snack time independently and get ready for home time too.
This week, we’re reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and children are already beginning to retell the story. This story will be our focus for two weeks. If you have a copy of the story at home, please enjoy reading it together. The children have loved to join in with the repeated refrain in the story. “Run, run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man.”
For Maths we’ve been building our mastery with number 1! We can represent one using our hands, with Numicon, by making marks and collecting one object.
In phonics our sound box had lots of ‘m’ objects including a marble, a mouse, a map and a mirror.
Help at home-What can you find around the house that begins with the ‘m’ sound? What other ‘m’ objects could we have put in our sound bag?
