Class Rules

Our Learning

The Bog baby

During this term we’ve been reading the story of The Bog Baby and were lucky enough to visit the woods. We made the Bog baby out of clay and then made him different habitats down in the woods! We also did some pond dipping to see what we could find.

Fine Motor Skills
We have been practising strengthening our fingers! We are hoping to get stronger at writing, cutting and drawing. We’ve used tweezers, threading, hammers and learnt how to use scissors safely.

 

Maths
In our first few weeks at school we have been practising our maths skills. We are learning to count, order and recognise numbers to 10.

Bikeability

At the start of the year we were lucky enough to have 2 weeks of balance bike training! We absolutely loved it and saw some real progress by the end of our time with Chris the instructor.

Mark making & Writing
We have been practising our phonics daily and learning how to correctly form our letters. We are getting really good at writing our own names now too!
