Class 1 spring 2 Week 4 2025

This week in Monster Phonics the reception children have been learning the sound ‘or’

We have been targeting tricky words such as said, all, saw and was. I have been blown away with how much the children are writing and with their use of extended vocabulary.

The pre-school children have been using body sounds and percussion instruments to illustrate the story ‘The Billy Goats Gruff’.

On Monday we talked about spring and about all the changes that happen around us. We have had lots of fun with craft activities, making flowers, woolly sheep and clay snails.

In maths the children continued to explore length. The reception loved dipping their feet in blue paint and then comparing the length with their friends. We also explored small and tall, building towers and using multi links to measure height.

In RE we re-enacted parts of the Easter story making palm leave to wave.

In music the children really enjoyed listening to Vivaldi’s spring. I read Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and then the children listened to the piccolo, trumpet and double bass. They enjoyed exploring high and low sounds.

We are excited about forest day on Monday and have many activities lined up to prepare our garden for the spring and summer months.

Thank you very much for the donations!
