As Diwali took place on a weekend, we engaged in fun activities linked to Colour and Celebration to help us with our awareness of different festivals.

Maths: Matching 

Over the past 3 weeks, we have been learning about Matching. We learnt what 'matching' means and practised identifying matching buttons, matching pairs of socks and building matching towers.

We will continue to practise building matchign towers next week. 

 

Phonics: 

We have begun teaching Phonics in the form of daily taught sessions within small groups. Last week, We had taught the phoneme 's'. 

You can help by encouraging your child to identify objects around the house which begin with the phoneme. 

 

This is a link to the Little Wandle Phonics Scheme webpage:

Rather than identifying the letter names, please encourage your child to identify the phonemes first.
