Hello everyone....

Hello Everyone, 

We had a great week making lots of fun things to do with the Gruffalo. The best thing was making the Gruffalo crumble and they were very tasty! We have played some great group games and have been practising our counting and getting really great at our colours and recognising changes. 

This week we are starting Christmas and have some really great things for the children to make and play. We love Christmas and can’t wait for all the festivities to start.

Hello Everyone, 

This week we have had lots of fun making lots of creations to do with the Gruffalo. We used some great skills for cutting and sticking our Gruffalo pictures. We have also been discussing all the different animals that the Gruffalo meets along the way. The children also really enjoyed making the junk model Gruffalos and have been exploring lots of colours and shapes. Singing skills within the group are really starting to shine through and the children have made some great sounds with the Tappy sticks. 

This week we will be continuing with ourstory focus of the Graffalo and we have many more activities planned for the week. 

The children have started to talk about how they are feeling and we did some practising of faces in the mirrors. We will continue with this theme for the week.

Hello Everyone, 

We hope you have had a great weekend and seen some fireworks.

We will be making lots of creative things this week from the fireworks we have seen and the memory’s we have made.. If you would like to share any pictures of your fireworks or sparkler fun you can email us and we can share it at group times over the week. We have lots of fun activities to explore and we are going to be very creative and even make some things to eat! 

We have enjoyed welcoming our new friends to the class and all the children have been very kind and caring and welcomed them into the play. 

The children enjoyed talking about the punkins and creating pictures but they were not so keen to explore them in the texture tray. 

Harold the Giraffe 

This week we will be talking, continuing to talk about people in the class and playing games and helping to remember their names. We will also talk about things we can do to be kind and the kind of things we say and do to each other.
