Sense of touch- We have been talking about how different materials feel. We felt many different materials such as wood, plastic and foil. We thought of different words to describe objects, the boys came up with some of their own words such as tickly, sticky and fluffy. We made our own feely books by choosing 4 different materials and writing a word to describe how they feel.

In literacy this week we have been learning the sounds ‘d’ and ‘g’. The boys could think of lots of words beginning with these letters and even had a go at writing them. We read the story Room on the Broom and identified the rhyming words throughout the book. Later on in the week, we acted out the story.

In maths we have been learning new numbers including ‘9’ and ‘10’. The boys enjoyed making monsters and counting the amount of legs and eyes. The boys have been practising their counting and number recognition using games on the Smart Board and playing games such as lady bird Bingo.

Some of the other things we have been up to this week:

The first half term has been busy, exciting and tremendous fun! Mrs Curran and I want to congratulate the boys on all their hard work and for settling into Lochinver House so confidently. It is a pleasure to welcome the boys’ happy faces each morning and discuss their achievements at school and home. Well done RGC!
