Autumn and colours

Hello Everyone,

The children have loved ‘The Gruffalo’ story.

All children loved this book and it has helped them to develop their descriptive language.  We have talked about the weather changing to winter and how this may affect us in our everyday life ie: wearing coats, hats, boots etc.

The children loved making their own little ‘Gruffalo’s’ some of these were happy and some were cross!!

We will be continuing to develop an interest area and try and collect some of the things we see through the story.  We will develop our artwork and be using Autumn colours, mixing our own colours from powder.

Jennie Jigsaw

My Turn/ Your turn, has been working with the children starting to understand the concept. We have been amazed at how quick the children have picked up the songs and seem to know most of the actions.

It was lovely to see in the garden last week the children are starting to play along side each other in small groups.

This week we will focus on how children can make their own choices and work part of the group.

Letters and Sounds

This week we will play name the missing animal. One animal will be removed from under a cloth and we will see if the children can recognise which one has disappeared.

Home Learning

Please can you continue to bring us in any Wow’s of your children great achievements at home.

It’s been great and the board is really filling up, these will now be transferred to your child’s Learning Journey.

Thank you for those parents who were able to attend the coffee morning, it was nice to spend some time with you and explain how things work in year 1 of Pre-School.
