This week we will be learning...

This week we are going to be learning about...

• nursery rhymes
• using technology in the classroom
• estimating and counting

We will be learning...

• to join in with some familiar nursery rhymes
• to recite some nursery rhymes and poems ourselves
• to use nursery rhymes to help our learning in other areas, for example, exploring clocks and time when we look at 'Hickory Dickory Dock' and exploring stars and space when we learn 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'
• how to use different types of technology in the classroom, including computers, iPads and technological toys
• how to choose technology to use for different purposes, for example, recording ourselves reciting a nursery rhyme or using an iPad to take a photograph of a model we have made
• how to estimate how many objects we can see and check by counting

You can help me at home by...

• reading and retelling nursery rhymes with me
• playing games with me to help me hear rhyming sounds in words
• talking to me about the technology we have at home and how we can use it for different purposes
• asking me to estimate different things, for example, how many carrots are on my plate, and then check by counting

Reminders:

Please bring Library books back into school on Wednesday

On Thursday our sound of the week will be 'f'
