The Ladybirds Week 6 Term 1

This week in the Ladybirds, we continued our exciting exploration of numbers and shapes in maths. We focused on the key elements of circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles. After playing some fun shape-related games, we put our creativity to work by creating chalk shape drawings on the basketball court.

In PDHPE, we explored feelings through a lively game that combined musical statues and charades. Inspired by the book A Little Spot of Feeling: Emotion Detectives, we then created our own “feeling spots” to help us understand and express emotions.
For sport on Tuesday afternoon, the rainy weather didn’t stop us from having fun. We set up a makeshift bowling alley and enjoyed a game of Magnatiles bowling!

On Thursday, we again ventured to the park and practised some mindfulness through meditation.

Our phonics focus this week was on the sounds /m/ (“Mummy on the Moon”) and /a/ (“Ants on Apples”), helping us build our early reading skills.

This week, the Ladybirds took on the important role of chairing for the first time. Benji and Oli led the meeting beautifully—well done to them!

With love,
Meg (and Sarah D)
