On Friday, we went to the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood.

Here are some pictures!

Hi Mums, Dads and carers!

We are trying so hard to read the common words we see (you have them stuck in the front of the red homework books!).

We know lots and lots of them and are practising them daily in school and trying our best to write them but it is tricky to make some of them stick in our heads!

Please help us!

Over the next few days, your child may be coming home with a colourful sheet (see the example attached!) with the ten words they are practising over the next couple of weeks.  Ideally we would like to remember these tens words in no more than 2-3 weeks! Putting the sheet in  a place your child visits frequently (the fridge or the bathroom perhaps!) is a great place as they will see them all the time and be able to remember them easily.  Having a parent vs child competition is always a great way to help your child remember them!

Our wonderful Mrs Oakeley will be working weekly with the children to see how they are getting on with the words… good luck everybody and as always, thank you for your continued support!

Remember: the sheet below is just an example- your child may have different words!

During their computing lessons, the children have been looking at the difference between a traditional paper book and an ebook. A traditional book can have beautiful pictures in and a written story or text. They learnt that ebooks can also have pictures and text in but can be interactive too. They discovered that you can listen to ebooks and sometimes the pictures move or talk when you touch them.

We have started to make a ‘Gruffalo’s Child’ ebook for the reception children to enjoy. Here are a few of the photos that they drew using the ‘Draw Free’ app on the iPads.
