Week 3
Another incredible week of our Super St. Mary’s class REACHing in all they do, especially with their resilience as they are now in for full days. What a joy it is to be teaching your children.
The children continue to love their time with their Y6 buddies, and we are delighted to say that Y6 will continue to have their lunch on a Friday with St. Mary’s Class.
This week we have continued focusing our mathematics on the number 5, and have created some aspirational cube cities in our provision.
We have blown Mrs Daly and Mrs Piper away with our high expectations on our writing, developing our confidence with our tripod grip and already reading and writing s a t p i n m d! Wow! What superstars!
We have been showcasing our confidence in the Creation Story by creating creation scenes in the small world area, on the tinkering table, through collage and drawings.
With empathy the children shared the beautiful ways that people light up their world in our class prayers.
Week 2
St. Mary’s Class have been so busy this week with aspirational learning! The children have been sharing their counting with confidence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and knowing what one more than would be. We have also been learning our first 4 letters and sounds (s a t p), and showing resilience with their tripod grips! Well done St. Mary’s Class.
We have been continuing our super scissor work and creating fantastic fuzzy face monsters, with different expressions and some with up to 5 eyes! We have also been focusing on empathy as we have created these faces with different emotions and talking about what these feelings feel like.
We have continued to explore the classroom environment creating groups of 5 on our tinkering table, and Mathematics area.
We have been demonstrating amazingly high expectations through our whole school assemblies, as we move around the school, enjoying lunchtimes in the hall and by just being the best we can be!
Finally, much to the Year 6’s delight, we have met, and enjoyed lunch with our Year 6 buddies. We have had great fun getting to know them, and we are excited for you to see our future projects together over the coming year.
My First Day in St. Mary’s Class at St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School
Wow!!! What superstars our St. Mary’s class are. Already REACHing in all they do, and it’s only been their first day. Lots of children have been earning marbles for marvellous manner manners, limitless learning, super sitting and lovely listening.
The children have been showcasing their confidence as they explore their classroom environment, and demonstrating high expectations as they moved around the school on a whole school tour. We even went into Mrs Howells and Mrs Guoite’s Office to see where they work and are excited to be going in there over the coming months to show off our learning.
We have blown Mrs Daly away with our super handwriting, completing our first piece of work in our Purple Books and have started sharing our Teddy Bear Summer Adventure Passports.
