Welcome to the Aquamarine class page!
Welcome to the Aquamarine class page! My name is Miss Wicks and I am the class teacher for Aquamarine class. Aquamarine is Reception and it is also known as Foundation Stage Two (FS2). Here at Dunsville, we work closely with Amber class (Nursery) during child-initiated time within our Foundation Unit.
Miss Thomas, Miss Munro, Mrs Shaw, Miss Frost, Miss Atterbury, Miss Emery, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Waggott also work with us across our foundation stage unit.
Our staff in our Foundation Unit help to support and enhance our learning opportunities as we learn through play.
Every day we are busy exploring and investigating the different areas in our classroom both inside and outside. We are outdoors in all weathers and we love to explore and create our own new environments to play in!
Here are some photographs of us enjoying our classroom!
Phonics
In Phonics, we are learning to recognise our phase 2 graphemes, we have been practising saying the phonemes and writing the graphemes in words using our robot talk!
We have been demonstrating what we have learnt by writing in our Phonics books.
Literacy
We have been reading the book 'The Three Little Pigs'. Someone had been into our classroom and made a big mess! We had fun using the clues to make predictions about our new book.
We then read the book and had a go at acting it out.
All about me!
We are learning all about us this term.
We have looked at our bodies and labelling the different body parts and then moved on to look at our families, the people in our community and where we live.
We will be drawing our own maps of our journeys to school and exploring our local area using Google street view.
We talked about the body parts that we can't see and how Doctors use X-Rays to be able to see them, check out our X-Ray pictures that we made!
Maths
In Maths, we have been having a go at matching and sorting objects using different sorting rules.
We then moved on to sorting using different sorting rules, for example, sorting all of the counters by colour or sorting all of the objects by size.
Important information
We aim to change reading books once your child has read the book at least twice. Please re-read your school reading book in order to practise reading fluency and comprehension.
Wednesday– PE day.
Seesaw – Homework is uploaded on to seesaw each term. Please send any 'wow' moments that make you extra proud of your child so that we can celebrate them together!
