Autumn and the Enormous Turnip

Hello Everyone,

We have had a great week  making some chickens, Hedgehogs and potato printing for the Harvest Display that will be up in the school hall. The wheel painting was also lots of fun. The Harvest Assembly was great and the children enjoyed watching all the other children sing. They did really well during their own performance as I am sure you will agree.

This week we will be doing some leaf rubbing and printing and making leaf suncatchers.We will be talking about the different colours of the leaves and how they feel when they crunch under our feet.

Our story focus this week will be the ‘Enormous Turnip’ as we prepare to harvest our pumpkins and cook with them.

This week we will continue with our feelings focus, friendships and what we like and what makes us happy and sad.

We will start talking about nice things we like about our new friends in the group.

Letters and Sounds 

Playing Teddy lost in the room went so well and the children got the idea of the games really quickly. We will continue with this and see how well the children do with taking on the role of the person playing the drum. We will also use the Tappy Sticks to listen and explore the sounds we are making.

Home Learning 

Please can you listen out for different sounds on any walks you may go on. If you could describe the colours of any of the leaves or other wildlife you may see. You can always email in any picture’s for us to display and we will print them off for you.
