Shared Book - Baboon's Nest

This weeks shared book was Baboon's Nest.

Today we made a chart to retell the story.

We are going to bring home that chart today.  Have a chat to us about the story.  We will do our best to explain to you the order that the events happened in.  This is called retelling.

This weeks poem is... Frog

Frog

A frog came hopping

in the door.

Hop, hop, hop!

It hopped across

the kitchen floor.

Hop, hop, hop! 

It hopped onto

my mother's knee

Hop, hop, hop! 

Then...

it hopped into

her cup of tea. 

Hop, hop, plop!

 

Gardening

Yesterday Mrs Bentley showed us how to make little pots out of newspaper.  We had some Year 6 children help us make them.  Once we had made two each we planted a sunflower seed and a pea seed.  We are going to water them and watch them grow.  Hopefully we will all bring two wee seedlings home at the end of term.

Thanks Mrs Bentley for a fun afternoon! 

 

Xmas Concert

We sent an email home about the C Room kids needing a box wrapped in Xmas wrapping with holes cut out for their head and arms.

Durham Street Pre School

On Friday we went down to the Durham Street Pre School for a visit. We had such a great time catching up with old friends and checking out how they do things at their centre.  We loved having a go in all of the different learing spaces they have!

Thanks for having us Durham Street!

Please help us at home to hear the difference between the sounds...

 

Our sound 'ng'

We found this sound pretty hard so can you give us a hand to find some words with this sound at home...

Our star chart

We have some little champions in the C Room. Some of our stars have been working so hard that they have managed to fill their star chart.

To get a sticker on our chart we have to be noticed being amazing throughout the day. You can be seen being amazing by showing good manners, being helpful and kind, trying your best and loads more!

Congratulations to the following people for finishing their chart...

Tyge, Samuel, Olivia, Sage and Seth!

Well done super stars!!

Durham Street Visit

The Durham Street kids came up for a visit last week. It was so nice to have them come and see us. We loved catching up with Jenny and Courtney again and seeing some of our old friends. Come back soon!!

Middle Names

Today we were asked what our middle names were for Question of the day and only two of us knew!

Tomorrow we are going to have the same question.  Around the dinner table have a chat to us about our middle name and where it came from.  Is it a family name?, or is it a name that you just liked the sound of?

Library

Tomorrow is C Room's library Day!

Please make sure that all library books come back to school so we can all take home new ones.

We also get tested on our word cards at the library too, so help us to learn our words at home.

Reading

Every night we bring home a reading book to share with you.  It is a book we have already read to our teachers so we are quite familiar with it.

* We can read it with you, to you, or we can even take turns...

* We can read aloud or silently

* We can talk about the story and what happened it it with you

* We can read to other people in our house 

After we have read please record the story in our reading logs so our teachers can see how things are going at home.

The more you read the more you know, the more you know the more you grow!
