We’ve had a good week! This week we have focused on embedding the schools rules Ready, Respectful and Safe. Please ensure you are using these terms at home with your child so they get used to hearing them. Please see below for some phonics videos your child should watch over the weekend.

Maths
This week, the children had been encouraged to quantify sets of objects by subitising, rather than counting. When subitising, children can say how many there are in a small group of objects by ‘just seeing’ and knowing straightaway without needing to count.
Subitising can be categorised as ‘perceptual’ or ‘conceptual’. Perceptual subitising is used for very small sets of objects (initially up to about 3) and conceptual subitising is used when sub-groups can be perceived within a larger set and the whole is recognised, e.g. if 6 dots are arranged in a dice pattern, children may recognise this as ‘two 3s’ and know this is 6. Some arrangements are easier to subitise than others, e.g. a set of 3 dots arranged in a triangular pattern may be easier to recognise than a random arrangement, and children need to be exposed to many different arrangements.
We kindly request a £5 fund for resources each big term, this is to buy ingredients to make natural playdough, cooking activities and experiences. We also ask for a box of tissues!
Have a lovely weekend
