Hello everyone....

Year 1

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.

This week we will talk about  ‘Our Feelings’ focusing on learning our friends' names in the group.

Letters and Sounds 

This week we will be playing rhyming words/songs?  We will also play with the puppets to see how much spontaneous language we can develop through this play.
