Where the learning begins!
This week we have been learning all about The Three Little Pigs. We loved experimenting with different materials to find the best roof for one of the pigs houses. The children have also made houses and dressed their own pigs. FS1 have been working really hard in maths learning the number 3 and playing bingo. FS2 have been learning how to find one more and one less than a number.
We had great fun exploring the cold weather and ice outside!
Welcome back to you all and we wish you a very Happy New Year. The children have been truly amazing this week and adapted to working in the hall for a couple of days very well! Our theme this week has been Goldilocks and the three bears. We have made baby bears face with tissue paper, decorated a bed for Goldilocks and so much more.
What a fun last week we’ve had! We watched Puss in Boots pantomime, made Christmas baubles and calendars and much more!. The children also loved playing party games and making party hats. We would like to wish you all a lovely Christmas and a very happy New Year.
We are so proud of the children this week, they did such an amazing job learning their lines and songs for the play and performed with so much confidence, a big well done to each and every one of them. They have also enjoyed continuing their maths and phonics work as well as exploring all the classroom activities. The Rudolph headbands were a particular hit this week! We look forward to our final week of Christmas fun next week before a well earned break for all the children.
We have had so much fun in the classroom this week as we start our focus on Christmas. The children have counted snowballs, made snowflakes and baubles, drawn snowmen and drawn and labelled stockings for Santa. They have loved playing as elves in the home corner and have been so excited to see what our naughty elf has been up to each morning!
This week we have loved reading the story of The Gruffalo. We have made some of the animals, pegged spikes on the Gruffalo’s back, and used pasta and play dough to make hedgehogs for in the wood. The children are also working incredibly hard on practising the Christmas play. If your child has lines to say please could you help them to learn them at home.
We have continued learning about Diwali this week. The children have thoroughly enjoyed making diya lamps, following firework trails and using numicon to make rangoli patterns. We also tasted curry and popadoms, the children particularly enjoyed the popadoms!!
This week we have been learning about Diwali. We have made Diwali coconut sweets and eaten them, used plastic piping bags and paint to create mehndi patterns and made rangoli patterns with both rice and play dough.
It is lovely to see all of the children again after half term. They have all settled back into our classroom routines very well. We have continued learning about Autumn and the seasons this week. The children have decorated trees according to the season, made hedgehogs out of play dough, finger painted Autumn trees and so much more.
We have had a great last week of the half term. The children loved hunting for leaves and conkers outside as well as having a leaf hunt in the classroom. Our fundraising morning went very well and we would like to thank you so much for coming to support us and your children.
