Friday 3rd September

Photographs being used in the classroom to help the children tidy and remember where things go. They can check the picture to see what it should look like.

This morning Mrs Southall taught the children while Mrs Shiner and myself began the home visits for the new reception children.

With Mrs Southall, the children began to learn about working with a talk partner. This is something which we are developing across the school and will encourage the children's speaking and listening skills.

The children have also been rehearsing classroom routines over the last two days including the new tidying routines at the end of the day and lunchtime routines.

This afternoon we practised some word work in preparation for setting word lists for homework next week. The children also had their 'Golden Time' this afternoon and enjoyed looking for minibeasts outside.
