UOI Reflection
So far the children are enjoying our investigation into things from the past. We have started this week by exploring dinosaurs. We have learned some new words, skeleton, fossil and ticket. The children have enjoyed playing with the rotary phone and typewriter in the dinosaur museum role play area. Next week staff will bring in old items that have meaning for them. 

Maths

This week - children have continued with recognising and writing number 1, we have also recapped recognising and naming squares
Next week - children will begin to look at recognising and writing number 2

English/Phonics

This week - children have continued to practise their listening skills - we practise 'Give me 5' 
1- eyes looking
2 - ears listening
3 - mouths quiet

Practise at home with your child.
We also started listening to and matching animal sounds
Next week - we will continue listening to and matching sounds
