We finished off our work on the Three Little Pigs by designing and making their houses.
We did some fabulous writing in phonics, saying the words and writing down the letters.
In Maths we rolled dice and said the number, then counted out objects to match.
We also practised using ten frames to represent numbers.
A fantastic week in Rowans! In Maths, the children in reception have explored the composition of numbers to 3 whilst the children in year one have compared groups by matching and also explored fewer, more and the same. In Phonics, the reception children have learnt the phoneme +n and practiced blending CVC words. The children in year one have learnt the diagraph +ai and practiced reading and writing words.
In Science and Art, the children have explored space and learnt all about the planets. The children had to follow instructions to each colour one of the planets using makers and filter paper, they then used a spray bottle to make the colour run to make beautiful planets. Well done everyone!
The children in Rowans have worked so hard this week. In Phonics, the children have been learning the new phoneme +a and +er and practised the action and letter formation. The children have been reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. This story links to our current topic of ‘Let’s Explore’. The children listened to the story and shared there thoughts and ideas. Then the children made a story map to show what happens in the book. In science, the children have explored the process of freezing and melting. In PE, the children have practiced balancing.
This week as part of our topic work we read the story ‘Handa’s Surprise’ by Eileen Browne. We shared our ideas and talked about the characters, setting and events.
Next we talked about our favourite fruits, linking what we had read to our own experiences. Everyone brought in some fruit from home to share with the class to make a fruit salad.
We worked carefully to wash, peel and chop the fruit, and then selected what we wanted to put in our fruit salad. It was delicious!
Afterwards we drew some of the fruits, attempted to label them and used descriptive vocabulary to talk about them.
Well done Acorns!
The children in Rowans have worked very hard. In maths the children in reception have compared a variety of sizes, capacities, weights and lengths using objects. The children in year one have completed counting tasks. In phonics the reception children have learnt new phonemes S and A. The children in year one have learnt the diagraph +ow. In science the children have explored the textures of objects using a feely box. In computing the children practiced moving and clicking the mouse.
A super duper week Rowans, well done!!
Today in Acorns we invited our grown-ups into school to join in with a phonics session. They listened to the story linked to the new phoneme, and practised the action and letter formation with us. Then we explored activities linked to our new letter sound.
We received some lovely, positive feedback from parents –
“The session was great. It’s good to see how the children are learning and how we can help at home. Fantastic to see how settled the children are and how comfortable they are in their classroom.”
“Really enjoyed the session. Lovely to see the children in their classroom and be involved in their learning. What a lovely class.”
“It was great to see how well the children have settled in already. I was pleased to see how confident my child was to share her thoughts with the group.”
“Thank you for the invitation to the phonics lesson and providing useful information!”
At Fellgate we understand the importance of involving families with each step of their child’s learning, and sharing reading is vitally important in a child’s development. We are starting weekly family library sessions in Reception class from this Friday onwards, inviting parents and carers to come in and read for pleasure with their child, and then take a book home to share.
The children in Maples have worked so hard this week. In Phonics, the children have been learning new phonics sounds and consolidating their segmenting and blending skills. In Maths, each of the children have worked hard on their own individual targets, including counting, identifying more/less as well greater than/less than and equals. In Geography we identified how the land and sea are represented on a world map and have coloured their own to demonstrate their understanding. In History, we identified and discussed who the significant people are for each of us and in art we enjoyed exploring and painting using primary colours.
Have a look at our amazing work!
Today the children in Maples made some delicious cornflake cakes and then they recalled how they made them. They really impressed us with their listening and also their writing. Take a look at how well they did!
This week in Rowan’s the children have been learning all about the +ee sound and consolidating phase 2 phonemes. The children listened to the story of Commotion in the Ocean. In maths the children have explored the composition of numbers to 20 and have continued to explore doubles. In art the children made their own jellyfish, they look super duper! In P.E the children practiced hitting the ball and collecting the ball. In science the children learnt about snow and melting. The children followed instructions to make snow and then created a snowman!
This week in Rowan’s the children listened to the story of Sharing a Shell. In art the children used air dry clay to make their own shells, they look fabulous! In phonics the children have been learning all about the +ng sound.

In P.E the children practiced throwing the ball into a target to score points. In science and D.T the children learnt about the wind and made a kite, they had lots of fun testing the kites to see if they would fly!
