Only a four day week but it felt like longer 

We've learnt three new sounds in Bug Club - two vowel digraphs (ai, ee) and our first trigraph (igh)! The children were especially excited by the trigraph. We talked about triangles, trikes and trigraphs all having three of something.

We have a teamwork focus this half term which began with parachute and then team tidying. Its getting much better. 

We have done kinetic letters handwriting every day and the results are beginning to show. The children lie on their tummies for best results and I model the letters using a visualiser. 

Numicon (or Unicorn as one child thinks it's called) has introduced addition. The children have loved adding two Numicon shapes together and finding the total.
