Rabbits learn even more letter sounds!

17.11.17

What we have been learning this week

It has been another fantastic week as we discovered more sounds that letters make.  We tried using them to build words in different ways.  

We were really excited to get out all the all the PE equipment to climb, balance, swing and travel, and we persevered at things we found tricky and tried new things. 

Well done Rabbits!  A great attitude to new experiences.

We enjoyed a new game this week called "squishy subtraction". It was a great fun way to takeaway one. We were also able to use our rolling skills to make balls of playdoh - I’m sure we'll be playing this again.

We really enjoyed the Elmer story when we were learning “e”, and celebrating that we are all different just like when we all wore odd socks on Monday. 

We are developing our model-making skills and ensuring we label them afterwards.  Can you guess who this is a model of?

You guessed - it what a fantastic Elmer!

What we shall be working on next week

Next week we shall be learning letter sounds h, b and f, and we will be subtracting in different ways. 

We will be reading the fantastic "Owl Babies" as we begin to explore nocturnal animals, in preparation for our visitor on Friday. Maybe we'll get to meet an owl at the end of the week!

How you can help with home learning 

We have been comparing sizes, so could you order your teddies by size or compare sticks you find in the woods? Small, tiny, smallest, medium, big, biggest. 

Keep practising your letter sounds and enjoy your reading books.

General information 

Library book changing day will now be a Wednesday as we have a lovely parent volunteer to support this activity. Many thanks. 

Please can I say that it really helps your child if they have their-book bag with their reading book and diary in school every day. 

A letter about costumes for the Christmas play will come out next week with all the details but a quick note to say we will be snowflakes so we would love children to be dressed in white.
