Term 2 - Week 2

Well, what a busy week we have had here in Room 16. We were lucky enough to have Constable John come and talk to us about how to keep ourselves safe. We learnt that we should never go with strangers, no matter what they tell us - parents, this may need some reinforcing.

Here we are with Room 8 listening very carefully to what Constable John had to say.















We also welcomed Alena to Room 16. It is great to have you with us Alena and we are looking forward to even more children joining our class next week.







On Wednesday lots of children brought something to share for news. We had a great time listening to what they could tell us about their special item. Here is Cohen with Monkey and Softy. He said they are great to snuggle up to in bed and he has even written a book about them. Ka pai Cohen!

Malachi brought a pencil with a lion rubber on the top to show everyone. He told us that it was just new and he hadn't even used it yet.






Monique told us all about her purple bird. She said that she sleeps with her bird every night and it wakes her up in the morning by chirping.







Our letter of the week was 'P' so we made sparkly crowns and turned ourselves into princes and princesses. We have also been learning the sounds p, n and c.

When our new children came for their visit we went on an Autumn walk. We found heaps of leaves and acorns which we used to make leaf prints and hedgehogs. Come into the class and have a look, they are amazing!

 Finally, our Star of the Week was Malachi. Malachi has been trying really hard with his writing and I am very proud of him. Here is Malachi with his certificate:

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Term 2 - Week One

Welcome to Room 16 at Nayland School! We have had a great start to the year and the children have been having lots of fun.

In phonics we have been learning the new sounds s, a, t and i. It would be great if grown-ups could help the children to practise these sounds.

Here are some of the other things we have been doing:

Malachi and Siuila are playing in our police station. They have taken some fingerprints that they are looking at with the magnifying glasses. We have also been making wanted posters so let us know if you see any of the robbers we are looking for.

Here are Cohen and Monique hard at work in our Writing Area. We have lots of choice things to write with here - even gel pens!

We worked together to play a maths game. We took turns rolling the dice while our partner counted the dots and then wrote the number on their whiteboard. Grown-ups, you could play this game at home with the children.

On Thursday we played a listening game. One child hid behind the bookshelf and played an instrument. The rest of the class had to guess which instrument was being played.

Here is Stirling playing an instrument while the rest of the class are listening carefully. What number instrument is he playing?




















Well done everyone, have a great long weekend and I will see you all next week.
