This week we have been learning about penguins. We have been reading the book "Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers. You can find out all about the book using the link below.

We have also been watching penguins on webcam. We have given one a name of Flipper as he likes swimming sideways!

On Tuesday we had a visit from an author, Christine Chambers, and she read her book to us.

We have learnt 5 more sounds this week in Phonics - oa, oo (as in zoom), oo ( as in book), ar and or

In maths we were practising ordering numbers to 10 or 20, and saying how we know which one would be next.

This week we have been focusing on being tidy and following the school rules. We have been checking that we hang our coats up carefully, putting any hats or gloves either in our coat pockets, hood or the box in the classroom. We have also made sure that we put our bookbags away neatly in their boxes.

We have a saying in school:

Choose it. Use it. Put it away.

We have been making sure everyone does this, both inside and out.

In phonics we have learnt 3 more sounds - ai, ee and igh . Please can you help us spot these in books and signs at home.

In maths we have been practising reading our numbers to 10 and putting them in the correct order.
