After a fantastic month, routines are embedded, teams have been made and Dojos are being won!
Our main topic is Autumn in Lee. We are studying this beautiful season and learning about the changes that occur at this time of year.
We are also learning about our local area and community. We are finding out what the buildings that surround us are for. What the different types of vehicles are that we can see around us and what their purpose is, as well as the jobs that many people do in our community to support us.
Now we move on with our Letterjoin work in school. Away from the initial shapes and patterns that you have seen on the Letterjoin curriculum given to you at the start of the year and on to letter formation itself. We hope you are enjoying using this at home. Please let us know if you have had any problems setting it up from the Letterjoin letter we gave out to you all in the blue folder.
Keep going with your Alphablocks fun! It helps the children learn the correct sounds that we are studying in Read, Write Inc. The sounds that we have learnt so far are m a s d t i n p g and o. Next up are c k u and b! We are learning to write them as we go along, if you would like to practice them at home on Letterjoin.

In Measure, Shape and Spatial Thinking we are comparing size, mass and capacity with a particular focus on capacity in our water play area.
We are also exploring pattern and using 5 frames, ten frames, counting beads and compare bears to help us.
