This week, we have been continuing to think about our feelings and read another Tom Percival story; Tilda Tries Again. This story helped us to think about how we might feel and what to do when things feel difficult and you can revisit it here:

We also talked about how important it is to think about other peoples’ feelings and not just our own. It is not always easy to know what someone else is feeling and we may have to look carefully for clues such as facial expressions or body language (for example, what does it mean if someone has their hands over their ears?).

We read the story of Be Gentle by Virginia L. Miller and looked very closely for clues that showed us how the little black kitten felt. There does not seem to be a video of this story on youtube but it is one of the stories I recorded for our storytime blog (please scroll down to the Jan 15, 2021 post).

We have also been working hard in our maths lessons to practise our subitising skills. This is when you look at a group of objects and say how many there are without counting. This is a very useful mathematical skill and it helps us to begin to understand how numbers are made up. If you would like to know more about subitising, please have a look here – please note, you do not need to download this app – I just thought the explanation of subitising was useful!

We hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
