This week our big idea questions are:

What do robots do?

What technology do we use at home?

We will be looking at different robots and machines and talking about how clever they are!
Including hoover robots, robots that can build cars and machines in factories that make things that we use every day.

We will be sharing this story with the children:

Along with the sequel... No Bot-The Robot's New Bottom!

We will be moving and grooving to these vintage Barney tunes:

Along with making our own 2D shape robots and of course doing lots of improvised robot dancing!

  

(F2) We are SO PROUD of how brilliantly the children are doing with their phonics. We are getting extra speedy with our sounds and trying really hard to form them correctly. We are starting to blend sounds together to read words! Keep up the super work Little Adventurers! 

The sounds we will be learning to read and write this week are: 

• Remember to book a parent's evening slot (links should be in emails from no-reply@mail.arbor-education.com) for a 10-minute appointment on either Monday 14th October or Thursday 17th October with Mrs Boon (F1) and Miss Inglis & Mrs Gerrard (F2). 
• Reminder to keep working towards those bronze reading awards, signing home school diaries and marking off the award page at the back. This can be done each time you share a story/practise speedy sounds etc. 
• To round off our topic, we will be having a 'Marvellous Machines' show & tell... Please let us know your child's favourite machine and send photos of some of the technology that you use as a family. This could be a photo of your car, the oven, a hoover, the freezer... The possibilities are endless! Send these photos on tapestry and the children can share them with their friends before half-term.
