Welcome to Kingfisher class!

Planets! 

This half term in Kingfisher class we have been learning all about Space. We have learnt about how astronauts get into Space, what it is important for an astronaut to know, and answered questions like 'how do astronauts brush their teeth?' and 'do astronauts float away when they sleep on the International Space Station?'. Last week, we made planets using balloons, newspaper and PVA glue. It was a really fun (and messy!) activity, where we talked about the sphere shaped planets and the different colours that each of the planets needed. We painted them and wrote planet facts too! Here are some pictures of our completed planets and planet facts. 

Diwali

This week we have been making Diva lamps to celebrate Diwali! We have heard the story of Rama and Sita and talked about lots of different festivals of light.

Welcome to Kingfishers!

Welcome to our lovely new Reception children and welcome back to our superstar Year Ones! It has been a fantastic start to the term - we have settled into our new routine and it has been lovely to see our Year One Kingfishers guiding the Reception children and being super role models for behaviour and learning. 

This year we have 3 wonderful teaching/classroom assistants in our classroom: Mrs Wick Monday - Thursday, Mrs Cox on Fridays and Mrs Parr on Wednesdays. On Wednesdays we also have Mr Johnson from Premier Sport teaching P.E. 

I have attached a copy of our Kingfisher class letter below, which tells you all of the information you need about this term. As always if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via the school office. I will post regular updates about our learning on the website, and on Tapestry for Reception children.

Activities: 

Welcome to Kingfisher Class!

Your class teacher is Miss Sakol and your teaching assistants are Mrs Wick and Mrs Cox

This half term, we have been thinking about Autumn and how our environment is changing as the weather is changing. We have looked at the features of Autumn leaves, thinking about the words that we can use to describe how they look, smell and sound.

We made leaf crowns and have done some leaf printing art too! 

Important information about Kingfisher class:

Handwriting

In the first term, your child will learn a new sound each day and will bring home a corresponding handwriting sheet to complete. The letter formation sheet shows how to form the letter shape using our school handwriting model. If you would like to do some more handwriting practise with your child, you can visit www.letterjoin.co.uk and log in using the details sent at the beginning of term. 

Number of the week

We have a 'number of the week' each week in Kingfisher class, where the children are encouraged to find groups of objects during their Explorer time (independent learning). If your child finds the number of the week at home, you can send in a picture via Tapestry and we will put it on our number of the week board!

P.E. kits

Please ensure that your child has their P.E. kit in school during the week as we have P.E. lessons on a Monday and a Thursday. It is also useful if your child has a pair of wellies in school for when we do activities in our outdoor area during the muddier months!
