At the end of their first week at Coundon Primary, each of our Reception pupils received the gift of a high quality, picture book to begin their reading journey with us; funded by our generous PTA. We hope that each and every one of you enjoyed sharing your book at home with your families. We’re sure it will quickly become a bedtime favourite!
Well done to our superstars this week!

October 1st – October 31st 2021.
Week 1 timetable:
This week, the children have been continuing to build confidence and learning the rules and routines of the school day. It has been lovely seeing them engrossed in their learning and making use of the learning facilities, during their ‘busy time’. We would like to thank all of the parents for continuing to contribute to our 50p collection, it is much appreciated.
In phonics this week, we will be learning the sounds ‘d, t and i’. The children will also be practising writing the sounds, ensuring they form them in the correct way. Fred the frog will be segmenting words with the new sounds in, and seeing whether the children can blend the sounds together, to make the word e.g. d-o-g, t-i-p, t-a-g’. Try doing this at home, by segmenting simple words in your every day conversations e.g. ‘Time for b-e-d’.
In maths this week, we are learning about ‘matching’. The children will be discussing what they notice about different objects, such as buttons and socks. What is the same? What is different? The children will be given a sock and asked to find their ‘match’ with their peers. They will also be designing their own matching buttons. Ask your child if they can find any matching objects at home? What do they notice about them?
In the wider curriculum this week, we have steered towards the children’s interests – DINOSAURS. We are reading fiction and non-fiction texts about dinosaurs, and discussing what they notice about the different types of text. There will also be lots of dinosaur themed resources in all of our learning areas.
Have a fabulous week!
