Some exciting news

This week three of our butterflies came out of their chrysalises. Unfortunately one of the butterflies had trouble coming out of their chrysalis, and had a damaged wing, so we may not be able to release that one. Over the weekend we are hoping the other two will also come out, fingers crossed.

This week in Phonics we have been learning the tricky words out and today. We have also been learning to read words ending in: -ing, Swimming, bumping, squelching -ed /t/ /id/ /ed/, bumped, jumped, melted, trusted -est, strongest, softest, freshest.

We have been reading lots of different superhero stories and thinking of our own superhero characters and stories. We have even made ourselves into superheroes, these can be seen in the window of the classroom just behind the porch.

In Maths we have been looking at numbers beyond 20, working out what one more and one less than those numbers are.

Just a reminder that all children need to wear studded earrings to school and please name your child’s jumper. As the weather is getting warmer now please can children bring in a named cap/hat and wear suncream to school. Fingers crossed for some sunshine this weekend.

See you Monday, The Ladybird team.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Last week Ladybird class read ‘The very hungry caterpillar’. We recalled the story using puppets, we created our own caterpillars and did some super writing. In phonics we have continued to read longer words and been practicing chunking longer words. We have been learning the tricky words ‘were’, ‘here’, ‘little’, ‘says’, ‘there’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and ‘one’.

This week in Ladybirds…

We have had a busy week, firstly the children did amazingly in their assembly on Monday, we were very proud of them. This week we have been learning all about Recycling, what it means, what materials we can recycle and how we can look after our environment by recycling. We enjoyed using recycled materials to make new things, we have made pirate ships, houses, a park, a rocket ship and so much more. In Maths we have been recapping number bonds, learning subtraction facts and working out number problems through telling our friends stories. This week in phonics we are continuing to learn phase 4 words and have learnt the tricky words ‘some’, ‘come’, ‘love’ and ‘do’. In PE we have been warming up by doing some races in our teams by running, jumping, hopping and walking backwards, this term we are working on practicing our ball skills.

We got an exciting delivery today…

Ladybird class got an exciting delivery today, meet Mr Crawly, Wiggle, Honey Bunny, Rainbow and Cherry Blossom. We are going to be looking after these caterpillars and watch the process of them turn into butterflies. Once they turn into butterflies we will release them. We are very excited.

Happy Easter

We have had a lovely week, learning about Easter, why it is celebrated and how people celebrate. We have enjoyed lots of fun themed Easter activities this week.

The children have had a lovely spring term and we will see you back on Monday 15th April for the summer term. Thank you for all your support this term, we hope you manage to have a well deserved rest.

A trip to our school library

Today, Ladybirds enjoyed their first trip to our school library. We spoke about what a library is, what we find in them and as well as following the golden rules, how we should act and behave in a library. Hopefully this will help us treat Ladybird’s book corner a little better too!

Goldilocks and the three bears

This week Ladybird class have enjoyed reading the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. They have been acting out and retelling the story and painting masks of the three bears. In maths we have been learning all about subtracting and working out different ways we can use to solve number sentences. In phonics this week we have been learning to read longer words, words ending in -ing and reading compound words e.g. farmer, garden, marching, waiting, morning, farmyard, rooftop and carpark.

A few weeks ago we planted some broad bean seeds and we have been looking after them and watching them grow.

Ladybird’s super writing

This week, we have tried really hard to write about where we would go in a rocket, if like Tyrone we could go anywhere and do anything. We used our amazing imaginations to write some wonderful sentences using our phonics. Here are some examples of our fantastic writing.

World Book Day 2024

We have had a lovely day celebrating world book day. We have been reading our favourite books and acting out scenes from the stories as our book characters which we came dressed as today. We all look amazing don’t we?!

We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible tomorrow at 2.30pm, to come and show off some super writing we have done this week, based on the book ‘You can do anything, Tyrone!’ It is about a boy who gets frustrated with himself when he cannot build a rocket using building bricks. His Grandad helps him build a new rocket using the bricks and they use their imagination to go anywhere they want and do anything they want. Ladybirds have been using their creative imaginations to write about where they would go in a rocket. Don’t worry if you cannot come tomorrow we will post some pictures of the children’s writing on here.

The beginning of book week

Today the children enjoyed reading ‘You can do anything, Tyrone!’ We used our imaginations and thought about where we would go if we built a rocket. We had some fantastic ideas about the wonderful places we could go if we could do anything .
