Hatchmere's Class Blog 23.10.26

Date: 23rd Oct 2026 @ 2:06pm

It was lovely to meet you all at our Parents Consultation evenings and to share your child's progress since their September start. Can you believe it has been 8 weeks!? 

Hatchmere have been creating a disgusting breakfast for The Thing Upstairs inspired by our Drawing Club stimulus, Trapdoor. We have had lots of fun writing disgusting words like slime and bogies! Yuk!  

Our Harvesters have been hard at work harvesting their own vegetables from soil. They used their shopping list and shopping bags, activated their counting skills, and got right to work. 

The Leaf Man book was very popular in class this week. The children used the pictures in the book to inspire their work, and we have some gorgeous leaf creatures and leaf people on display in our classroom.  

All of the children have been practicing their reading skills in our Monster Phonics books. It is clear that their confidence in the skill of reading is growing and we are so proud of them. 

Zipping coats will be one of our focus independent skills next half term. Please begin practicing this important skill with your child over the very windy half term. Here is a handy video to support you and your child : Zipping up coats 

Hatchmere have let their light shine before others by growing in confidence with their reading, working hard together to harvest vegetables using their counting skills, and using their creativity to make beautiful leaf creatures inspired by The Leaf Man.
