Phonics

We’ve been really busy with our phonics learning this week! Hazel class have been writing common exception words and digraphs in words. Look at our fantastic letter formation in our writing!

 

 

Forest School 

In our forest sessions this term, Hazel class have really enjoyed using clip boards and pencils, going on quests to hunt for items on their lists! We’ve identified different mini beasts and leaves, using our mathematical knowledge to find and represent numbers 1-5!

Let's Celebrate!

We’ve started our new term with a ‘bang!’ with our new theme of Let’s Celebrate! Hazel class have been busy using all of their creative skills using language in recalling past experiences. Remembering and talking about significant events in their own experiences! Take a peek at our fire work, bonfire and Rangoli art work!

 Term 1

In Term 1, Hazel Class have enjoyed learning how to use their environment and how to become independent learners. At Old Sodbury, we encourage our pupils to share their interest and we use these ideas and interest to inform our planning. We like to provide lots of opportunities for 'sticky knowledge' so that children can feel confident in their learning and remember all the exciting things they have experienced. 

Art 

We are learning how to become Artists in Hazel Class. We have mixed colours to carefully create our skin colour. We have also looked closely at our features in a mirror, noticing our eye colour and hair colour. 

Settling into school

We have been busy exploring our learning environment both inside and outside. We have enjoyed building new relationships with our adults and our peers too.
