In our phonics sessions this week we have been matching lower case and capital letters, in our woodland Wednesday session we searched for CAPITAL LETTERS and wrote the lowercase letter to match them using chalk.

We had a great first day back and settled back into school routines quickly. The snow excitement was great and we bought some snow activities inside – a snowman dice game to help us recall our tricky words, painting snow men and snow ball sorting. At break times we got to go out and explore the snow! We also enjoyed sharing a new Talk for Writing book Mr Gumpy’s outing – we used the small world items to help us retell the story. We also made some “Happy New Year” cards in the writing workshop. In the afternoon we talked about different vehicles and sorted them according to where they travel – on road, on grass, on tracks, in the air or on water.
