As we continue to work on our writing, letter sounds and blending, please help your child by practicing with them at home. I have sent home their Word Box copies this week with a letter sound assessment on the inside page (I still have a few more assessments to do so there is a few who won't get them until next week). All children can start their blending and if they are unsure of any sounds support them by focusing on the specific letter/s when reading books, online games or the JP app. They are also working hard on their handwriting, I am delighted to hear that they are choosing to write for fun at home too. It is great to give your child their own little notebooks so that they can write in them for fun. Please make sure they are using the correct letter formation on their homework sheets, as shown on the page at the back of their Sounds Book. You will also find a list of tricky words at the back of their Sounds Book.
This is a fun song we are focusing on in class.
In maths we are working on visualising our sets of 5 in different ways (i.e. straight lines, circles, towers etc) Also we are learning our 3D shapes. Below is a song they love about 3 D shapes. You will also notice that 3D shapes feature a lot in our play this week (great for building!)
A fun little song we are doing in maths this week to help the children with time... very on topic i think!

The tasting part of the Food Dudes came to an end this week. The children really enjoyed it. I sent home a chart for the children to record their fruit and vegetable eating at home. When it's fill in they can bring it back into school and they get a certificate.

Aistear fun this week... the topic of transport now incorporates our 3D shapes and lots of building and design. The children decided they wanted to scrap the train and use the boxes for designing their own modes of transport. NEVER underestimated the value children get from cardboard boxes!
Enjoy the fun video below... I think you'll agree that the children are making great progress in their physical education!

Have a great weekend. And just to remind you that you are welcome to pop in at the start of a new aistear topic to see the new aistear areas with your child. I know they get very excited to share them with you!
