Week Beginning 30th September 2019

Welcome to our Zen Den...

This week we have officially started meditation with the help of a little friend. Children responded really well to this unusual quiet moment together. 
We focused on our breathing and on how quiet it can be when we all find our own inner space...
We talked about how mindfulness is known to make people feel calmer and more focused. It can also teach us how to handle stress and anxiety. 
So a big well done to all for trying their best !


Some of us closed their eyes and listened to their breathing and quietness. 





We have also spent time reinforcing our sounds in phonics. All the pupils have had the opportunity to visit different tasks involving letter formation and sound recognition. 





Lovely name bracelets.

We have also put a lot of effort in our counting, particularly objects we can't move. 
That involved looking at pictures of objects and counting sea creatures on the interactive board.   




In phonics we also tried to write as many of the sounds we have been learning as we could from memory.
Just look how well we are doing.

More independent counting activities in Maths, matching objects (buttons) to digits.


As well as our phonics sessions, we have started to use them independently to play lots of lovely games. 


Outside this week amongst other things, we have discovered the jumping bag.
Much fun was had by all.


Friday afternoon and everyone was feeling tired at the end of a long week.
What better thing to do than snuggle up with a book...


We experienced our first celebration assembly today or 'Golden Book' as its known. Well done to all of Class 1 for settling into school life so well.

Have a lovely weekend everyone
