Friday 17 October 2025 Happy half term Wallabies! Happy half term! We made it Wallabies and what a wonderful start to school life you have all had. We are so proud of each and every one of you and hope that you all have a wonderful, well deserved break. This week in phonics we have been learning the sounds v, y, w, z and x. The children have done brilliantly with their letter formation and Fred talk. In maths we have been working on finding amounts, subitising and representing numbers on a 5 frame. We have enjoyed talking about how we have changed since we were babies and what we might want to be when we grow up. We have started thinking about people who help us in our community, ahead of the Little City visit next term and our local area walk. It has been lovely to see the children dressing up as nurses, police and fire fighters and being creative in the construction area building fire stations and railway lines. We were even lucky enough to end the term with a police visit from 2 local police officers and they were kind enough to le

Wednesday 8 October 2025 Pandas at Stourhead This week we went to explore Stourhead. We had an amazing time walking through the trees and looking at all the different leaf colours. We had time to collect the leaves, conkers, husks and twigs to then create some of our own Land Art inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We thought carefully about the pattern and shapes to create and how we could add colour to create a visual impact. We really enjoyed doing this and created some amazing pieces of art.

During the week we have talked about our skeleton, began using our magnetic boards to make words, gained confidence in stating the first 15 set 1 sounds in Read, Write, Inc., nearly completed the Reception baseline assessments and in maths we have been comparing mass and size. In the outside classroom there have been great examples of teamwork on display.

Friday 3 October 2025 D-I-S-C-O This week our theme has been our body and keeping healthy. We have enjoyed singing songs such as head, shoulders, knees and toes and naming different body parts and a skeleton song called ‘Dem bones'. This led into us making skeleton pictures using cotton buds and black paper. We also enjoyed listening to the story ‘Funny bones' and talking to our partners about what we would do if we were skeletons! Lots of children enjoyed drawing around their bodies on the floor with chalk or on large sheets of paper and naming / labelling the different body parts. We thought about and talked as a class about what we need to do to be healthy and to live a healthy lifestyle. There were lots of great ideas!

Friday 26 September 2025 The Meerkat Gem Jar is Full Wow!!! I think this is a first for a Meerkat Class but the children filled their gem jar by week 4! Together we agreed how we would like our class to be ‘In Meerkat Class we will be…' and the children have certainly excelled at meeting these agreements. Myself and the team are so very proud of them all. We celebrated on Friday afternoon with some ‘choosing time' and what a wonderful end to another busy week it was. Keep it up marvellous Meerkats!

Friday 26 September 2025 26th September 2025 It is lovely to see the children pour through the door, bright and early each day. This allows us to crack on with our learning! In Read, Write, Inc we have been learning five more sounds, i, n, p, g and o. We continue to do 'Fred Talk' and are having a go at forming these letters. Also this week, we have been learning about different colours, worked collaboratively in our outside area, developed our core strength on the apparatus, welcomed many visitors, compared amounts and have tried very hard to learn a poem called 'confused'.
