Science week

Hello Everyone,

This week we will be continuing with our Science topic.  We will be doing some simple smell test so the children can learn to use their sense of smell.

We will also be baking so that the children can see the changing process that the ingredients go through and how they end up.

Last weeks activities were really interesting and the children made some great ideas about the items we placed in bottles. They had some good guesses about what was going to happen to them and learnt some new language. They were very keen to keep checking to see if there had been any changes to the object.

They also had fun with the candle magic painting and enjoyed seeing their creations appear once they added a thin layer of water paint to them. These will be up on display for you all to see.

Letters and Sounds

This week we will be listening to different instruments and describing how they sound. We will also listen to some different music to see how it makes us feel.

The hiding ticking clock has been a challenge for the children and we will continue with this during the week. We will be trying to see if we can follow simple instructions and sing loud and soft following a signal. We will also start to see if we can do some clapping rhythms.

Jigsaw

The children have been enjoying their group time discussions. We have now been talking about places we have been to visit and what they have seen at them. They also like to know where the adults are going and what they like to do in there spare time.

This week we will discuss the Half Term plans and who and what they may be seeing and doing over the days off.

This is to help reinforce Personal, Social and Emotional Development and help them to make life choices. 

Home Learning 

Please continue to bring in any WOW moments and remember you can always email through photos and we can write stick them in your child’s Learning Journey. It’s been great to see a few more WOW’S on the board so if you have not already done one lets see if we can fill it up?!

If they have been very helpful or kind we would love to hear about it.
