This week in Snowdon Class...

Week commencing 8th June... 

In our “animal safari” topic this week we have been finding out which creatures lay eggs (reptiles, birds and frogs which are amphibians). We have also been learning what different kinds of food, including other animals, plants or both animals and plants, animals eat. Do you know these special words and what they mean – carnivores, herbivores, omnivores? 

We have made some amazing lion paintings using forks and turned paper plates into a range of incredible creatures too. 

In Maths we are learning about sharing fairly and sharing odd and even numbers between 2. We enjoyed a funny story about sharing (or not sharing!) called “The Squirrels Who Squabbled”. 

In RE we have started learning more about Muslim special stories and Islamic beliefs and we heard a story song of the story of the old woman and the kind prophet. 

We are all very proud of how fast we can all run. We have been practising running along (or in between) lines ready for Sports Day. 

Please continue to use Boom Reader and Numbots to support your child’s maths and phonics learning.  If you have any problems logging in to either, please let your child’s class teacher know.  

This week’s talking tasks:  

What’s the most unusual animal you can think of (maybe an interesting appearance, name or habit...) – can you and your child research it and learn more about it? 

To enable children to develop their language skills, we have used AI to translate this into other languages spoken in our school community.  

The children are encouraged to use the toilets and drink water throughout the day and are allowed to go to the toilet whenever they need.

The Reception timetable evolves as the children settle into the routine of school.  This is what we are hoping the timetable will be by the end of term.

During Adventure Time, the children are free to use and explore the resources and activities in the indoor and outdoor classrooms.  During this time, the Reception adults lead activities or work with individuals or small groups on a particular task or skill.  Waterproofs and wellies are used everyday during these sessions, so these stay in school.
