Anuban Weekly Outline

Sitapatr School
This week we are learning:
My Body
Circle Tie !e"iew

This week we will continue to complete the
weather board each morning as part of our
circle time routine. We will talk about the
current days weather, observe it and put up
the appropriate label to say todays weather
is sunnycloudy! etc.
We will also review all of our weather
vocabulary from last week with focus drawn
towards the trickier words that were perhaps
not used as much, such as rain drop, snow
and snowflake.
"s per our usual routine, we will sing the
good morning song and some of our
favorites to ease into the day, such as
twinkle twinkle and head, shoulders, knees
and toes. The last song is particularly
relevant for this weeks topic.

)ames and "ctivities
To learn through a T*+ approach we will play a simple version of the game SimonTeacher Says.
This will involve the teacher calling teacher says touch your %e.g& head or arm.! The teacher will
touch the body parts with the children and then make a mistake on purpose and see if the children
follow the action or listen to the spoken word. "t first it will simply be an e,ercise to get the children
physically knowing the body parts.
-or a fun activity which will make a great display in the classroom, we will look at hand prints. .ach
child will make hand prints with orange, yellow and red paint. "ll the prints will then be cut out to
form part of a big sun. The hands and fingers will be positioned like sun rays.
#arious games with flash cards will be played as the children have fun associating the pictures
with the .nglish spoken word.

Phonics
#ew letters an$ s%un$s

We will continue with the letters and sounds as e,plained in the phonics section.
!e"iew
We will really focus hard on getting to
become e,perts with phase one of
0olly *honics. This will cover the Ss,
"a, Tt, (i, *p and 1n sounds. The
children are really becoming familiar
with the sounds so it wont be long
until we can move onto phase two and
start looking at the work book. " few
more games and songs will be used in
order to confirm all children get to
grips with all of the si, sounds. The
pink pig cake! and the noise of the
aeroplane! are the latest ones to be
introduced. The 2olly phonics melodies,
T*+ actions and flash cards will all
contribute to the learning.
Writing &ractice
We are currently practicing colouring
with pencils in order to get used to
holding a pencil and gaining hand
strength in order to be able to have
the control to write and develop
general de,terity.
