We are looking forward to our theatre trip on Tuesday to see 'We're going on a bear hunt."
We will be making Christmas biscuits for a decorate a biscuit stall at the Christmas fair.
We'd like to say a huge thank you for all your cake donations for our cake sale. We were amazed at how many people contributed. We raised £160 which is fantastic. Thank you!

Week beginning 14.11.16
This week the children will be starting to learn songs for the nativity play. We will tell the children which part they will be in the play and if there are any words that they need to learn, we will send these home to practise. We provide all costumes - your tea towels are safe! The dates for the nativity are on the calendar on the Garrick Green website.
We will also be baking in class so we have lots to sell at the bake sale. We would really appreciate it if you could bake cakes for us to sell on Wednesday too. We are raising money for a stage area to be built outside which the children will really enjoy using.
We will be continuing our phonics by learning new sounds. The children are very good at the sounds and actions and are spotting the letters when we read books. Ask them which sounds they can remember!
We will be starting story scribing where the child tells the adult a story and we write it for them, modelling good writing. This will build up over the year from the children taking the pencil and writing the sounds they are able to until the child is writing the full piece. Some of the children will act out their story at the end of the day.
The children are going to go into whole school assembly this week. They will go in to a story assembly on Wednesday and celebration assembly on Friday.
Don't forget that on Friday it's Children in Need day so if the children want to wear spots they can and they pay £1.50 which will go towards the charity.

Week Beginning 7.11.16
This week the story is 'A Little bit of Winter' by Paul Stewart. The children will discuss hibernation and they will continue to talk about the change in the seasons.
The children will be learning about Internet safety through a discussion and they will sign the classroom rules to say they know how to stay safe online.
We are starting phonics this week where the children will learn the sounds the letters make. They will hear a little story to go with the sounds, learn an action to help them remember it and they will have a go at writing the letter too. You will get a list of the stories and the actions on Friday.
In maths the children will learn about 2D shapes and we are doing a shape walk to see if we can see shapes in the environment. The children will use iPads to take photos of the shapes they see and we will display them in the classroom. The children will be focusing on the names and the properties of the shapes.
A little reminder - there will individual school photos on Wednesday and don't forget to sign up for parent teacher interviews.
Have a good week!

Week beginning 31.10.16
We welcomed lots of fabulously dressed children in on Monday - the Halloween costumes looked great. Some of the children were tricky to recognise! Thank you all for the tombola prizes you sent in.
This week we have started doing little teaching inputs on the carpet. In maths we have working in counting skills. The children have been lining up objects and making sure they say a number each time they touch an object so that counting is more accurate. We have also been counting things we do e.g. Claps and jumps.
Continuing with the Halloween theme the children heard the story "Winnie in Winter." They discussed the differences between the seasons.
We have put the children's name cards up in the classroom and we are encouraging the children to copy their name, forming the letters correctly. We have started 'squiggle' this week to encourage correct letter formation too.
We have started some phonic listening activities to get the children tuned into listening to the sounds in words. We have also done some work on rhyming and alliteration.
The children have all brought home their first piece of homework - an image discussion. This is in their homework book in their book bag. There is a letter explaining this in their book bag too.
Have a good weekend - enjoy the fireworks!
