Mon 17th October

This week we have been learning about and trying to remember Number Bonds to 10 and also seeing that we can use these to work with higher numbers (Tens numbers within 100).

1+9=10       9+1=10                 10+90=100        90+10=100

3+7=10       7+3=10                 30+70=100        70+30=100

A week about Fire Safety Mon 10th - 14th October 16

Being aware of Fire Safety is very important for everyone - it can save lives!

We learnt about the 3 Ps of Fire Safety;          Prevent!   Plan!   Practise!

We thought about how fires start; candles, matches, lighters, BBQs, kitchens

                             and made posters about how to Prevent fires.

We thought about how to Plan what to do if there was a fire in school.

We found lots of Fire Exits in school.

We noticed they have a special sign that lights up, even if there is a fire!

We listened to the Fire Alarm so that if it ever goes off, we know what it is and then what to do and how to behave safely.

And then we Practised moving safely to the fire exits, and even crawling close to the floor if there is lots of smoke and answering the register quickly and quietly once we are safely outside.

We watched some programmes to learn about Fire Safety (see link above to Elmo and the fire) and how Fire Fighters help us.

And then, at the end of the week, we visited the Fire Station at Istra!! We saw all sorts of exciting things and talked to the Fire Fighters!

 Someone (?) even dressed up in the Fire Fighter's fire gear......

We had a great time and would like to say a huge Thank you! to all the Fire Fighters at Istra! We know so much more about staying safe in a fire!


               

OK - I'm going to try some photos!!

We are not allowed to post the children's faces on the Blog -so they will all be 'back' photos - but hope you enjoy them anyway.




Getting to know you activities in September

Try getting someone to the other end of the bench with no-one falling off! Quite tricky!! But, easier when we all work together and help each other.

Magic Fingers in the air - all say together....

'start at the top,  all the way round and up and down'  

and we have written a perfect 'a'.

We are really learning to play together......AND...
we are starting to play ....  in English!!!!

And we love 'Having a Wander' - this is time in between my teaching when we haven't got enough time to play,  but (as they can all tell you!) we can go to the toilet, get a drink of water, take jumpers off - then have a walk or read the books.






So, if you can't see your child on any of the photos, it's probably because you have trained them too well - to turn around and smile at the camera!


More to come soon!   Also, I'm going to try to add some links to things we have been watching in class, so you can watch them at home too!!
