Hello everyone....

 



Year 1


Hello Everyone, 


We have had a really great week creating and working together to create our special gifts and cards for Sunday. We really hoped you all liked them and they grow really well. We have also been very interested in painting this week and making marks with all sorts of different materials. The children have been working really well together to talk through their ideas and what they are thinking about trying. 


This week we will be starting to learn all about Eater and we have some fun activities planned around this. 


Jennie Jigsaw

This week we will continue talking about  ‘Our Feelings’ focusing on learning on sharing and group games. Jennie the Jigsaw has been coming to our group times and talking to the children all about having kind hands and she talks to the children about the positive things she's been seeing during the day. (Jennie is a soft toy)


Letters and Sounds 

This week we will be listening to some different types of music and asking the children about how they make them feel. They will also be dancing and seeing if they recognize where the music is from.

We had a great time and took part in lots of fun activities. We enjoyed making Mooncakes, making a space rocket in the classroom/dresing up and going to the Moon.

Hello Everyone, 


We had a great week learning more about space. We have really enjoyed playing together and learning lots of new facts. We enjoyed making rockets from junk, sticking space ships. Making our own Moon sand and experimenting in the water tray with things that float. We had a lovely play  over at the school field and played on the pirate ship and on Friday we even got out in the rain with our splash suits on. 


This week we will be continuing with the Space theme and have lots more fun things to make and investigate as well as cooking throughout the week.

We have had a great first week back. We have really enjoyed playing together with all our friends again and done lots of exploring.

We really enjoyed playing a colour hunt and investigating what may be missing from a group of objects. World book day was great and everyone looked great in their costumes and accessories.

On Friday we had an amazing visit from the Planetarium which the children loved and were very interested in.


This week we will be continuing with the Space theme and have many fun things planned for the children. We can’t wait for this!

Group Times we will be playing small team games.
