In maths we have been recapping our number recognition to 10 and begun to practice our number recognition and formation to 20! @StSebastiansPri

A big well done for all our amazing children for completing their sponsored Lenten walk raising money for CAFOD! 🎉 @StSebastiansPri

Last week our maths focus was all about doubling numbers! We did lots of activities to support us with this, including doubling the spots on the ladybird. 🐞 @StSebastiansPri

We’ve had the best time on World Book Day! We loved sharing our favourite stories and having our grown ups in class this morning for lots of fun reading and reading activities.📚 @StSebastiansPri

This week in literacy we began our new story focus “The Extraordinary Gardener”. We explored a gardener’s tool kit just like one from our story and wrote some amazing independent sentences! @StSebastiansPri

We’ve also been getting creative this week making paintings using potato’s to print! @StSebastiansPri

This week our topic has all been about keeping healthy. We explored healthy food and made a healthy picnic for our Teddy Bear. We also looked at how to keep our teeth healthy! @StSebastiansPri

In PE we have been practicing our throwing skills, exploring overarm and underarm throwing. We have also been working on our gross motor skills on our bikes! @StSebastiansPri

This week in maths we have been learning all our number bonds to 10. To help us with this we’ve been using part whole models to split our whole of 10 into two parts! @StSebastiansPri

What a lovely time we had on NSPCC number day exploring lots of number themed activities in school with our parents! Thank you to all our parents who attended. #SebsEYFS @StSebastiansPri

What an amazing time we had last week learning and celebrating Chinese new year! We created lots of art, did some Chinese new year themed maths and even did our own dragon dance! @StSebastiansPri #SebsEYFS

We’ve been doing lots of counting and adding in our role play toy shop looking at the prices of our toys and counting the correct coins to buy each toy! @StSebastiansPri

In maths we worked in pairs using 5 double sided counters- we took turns to shake the coins in our hand and throw them onto the carpet- spotting the parts within 5 by counting how many red and yellow counters we saw. @StSebastiansPri

We have learned that Pope Francis has declared a Jubilee year. The theme has been called “pilgrims of hope”. We discussed what the word “hope” means, and what gives us hope. We then made our own pictures drawing what gives us hope. @StSebastiansPri

Today we discussed the changes in our environment during winter and how water changes into ice when it’s very cold 🥶 we also explored what makes ice melt back into water, and predicted in our experiment which would melt our ice the quickest! #SebsEYFS @StSebastiansPri

Our new literacy story is “Little Red”. We looked at the illustration and read the text from the first page, discussing how our characters are feeling at the beginning of our story. We then did some amazing independent writing with our sentence snake! 🐍 @StSebastiansPri

To practice our phonics sounds we have been playing a game of phonic sound hopscotch outside! Some of us even wrote our own sounds using chalk. #SebsEYFS @StSebastiansPri
