Animals

This week we continued the topic of animals.

The children continued adding the animals to

the world map, as well as creating silhouette

drawings of the African plain as seen in our

new story about Kapiti.

Literacy

This week in Literacy, we

read the book Bringing the

Rain to Kapiti Plain, a

beautifully illustrated book capturing the

essence of the African plains. We discussed

what a savannah is and what is unique

about the habitat of the savannah. The

children were then able to research a sa-

vannah animal in order to complete the

next page of their zigzag animal fact

books.

In Phonics, we learnt the sounds y and z

and the new Alphabet Song. We also

practiced reading the tricky high

frequency words no, go, the, and, to and I.

Please continue to revise the words and

sounds in the blue Phonics book.

In Maths this week,

the children learnt about the properties of 3-D

shapes, as well as looking at time as a

measurement. We have also been practicing

the days of the week, months of the year and

the four seasons.

Notices Please send in a spare set of winter clothes

for your child.

A reminder that

fruit circle is still

taking place in

classes every

week, so please

continue to send

fruit in to school

with your child on

Sundays.

Date for your diary:

School will be closed next Wednesday

25th January.

Maths

We really enjoyed working co-

operatively in our new role play areas;

jungles and vet clinics.

We experimented with Numicon.

The rhyming house game was great

fun!

We also enjoyed assembling the world

map and thinking about where the

animals live.
