Month: November 2022

Grayling foundation have had a super busy week! The children are getting SO confident at telling our Star Hunt story ready for the Christmas play and Miss Baker loves their singing voices for all the songs we have learnt. I hope you all recieved your costume letters. Please let me know if you didn’t or if you need any help sourcing the clothes.

In maths we have focused on the number 7, noticing that there are 7 days in a week and 7 colours in the rainbow! Numberblocks help us to learn more about 7…

In phonics we have learnt new digraphs sh, th, ng and nk. These often come at the end of words. Please join in with the video below…

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

See you Monday!

Grayling Foundation have had a busy day to help fundraise for Children in Need. We went on a Pudsey hunt around the school and found 7 different Pudseys! We also joined in with Joe Wicks’ morning exercise and completed 5 laps of the playground for a Walkathon! All of Grayling have tried their best and enjoyed our different Pudsey related activities 🙂

Here is this week’s phonics video (Sorry again about the confusion in the phoneme books. You should have received an email explaining the correct order)

And finally, we look forward to seeing you on Monday morning for our next Stay and Play. The focus will be name writing and number learning 🙂

Have a great weekend

Miss Baker

This week we have talked about Rememberance Day and all the brave soldiers. Here is a little video that we watched to help us to understand what Rememberance Day is about…

The children then created poppy paintings and poppy badges to bring home. They were so grown up when we all tried to be silent at 11am today for 2 whole minutes 🙂

This week in phonics we learnt the phonemes v,w,y and x. Please keep looking back at all the phonemes we have learnt so far to help the children retain them 🙂 Here is this week’s video…

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and a good rest. Get well soon to all our friends who have been feeling poorly this week. We are missing you!

Love the Grayling Foundation team

This week we have learnt 3 new digraphs and another phoneme! The children are great at remembering that 2 letters make 1 sound. Please watch the phonics video here….

In maths we have focused on the number 4. We have talked about a square having four corners and four sides as well as looking at number pairs to make 4. We know 3 and 1, 2 and 2, 4 and 0!

Here are some fun number and pattern games you can play at home…

We have had lots of discussions about fireworks and bonfire night and the children have enjoyed using their creative and cutting skills to make these firework masterpieces! I hope you have a fun yet safe time watching them this weekend 🙂
