Hello everyone

 

Hello  Everyone,

We have had a great week and been up to lots fun learning together.

On Monday we set to work on our Mother’s day cards and gift making.

Tuesday we had great fun doing a science experiment using sugar cubes. The children made a little tower of bricks. They then had to predict what would happen if they poured over warm water.

Wednesday the group experimented making firework patterns using milk and food colouring.These were very colourful and the children engaged in lots of new language.

On Thursday we watched and made lava lamps, we tried to count the bubbles but there were far too many!

Friday we did some magic creations using wax to draw an invisible picture, we then used watercolours to paint over the surface of the paper to show what they had drawn.

The two mornings we had rain we had great fun in the soft play room. It’s great to see how far the children have come in playing together and playing imaginative games.

This week we will be continuing with simple science activities. We will also be starting our story of the Hungry Caterpillar. We will be getting a delivery of the insect Lore which I’m sure will cause lots of interest. Year 2 have their chick eggs in the incubator so we go and see these as well.

We will also be exploring the interests of the children and extending their interests helping to build new knowledge.

This week we will be continuing to work to help everyone feel welcome. We will focus on conversations and questions we can use together to help our friends to join in with us.

We will talk about this at group times and have running commentaries in the classroom.

Letters and sounds

This week we are going to play what is that sound?  Can the children recognise a sound from inside a shoebox.This helps the children to develop their listening skills and thinking.

Notices

On the whiteboard outside the classroom door is a pocket with Home Wow slips in, please help yourself to these. We love celebrating the children's home WOW'S.

Please get in touch if you need anything and have a good week starting to get back to the new normals routines
