Hello everyone...

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a great week of learning and the children have really enjoyed exploring the story they have chosen to read at group times.

On Monday we read the story of Whatever Next.The children really enjoyed this and joined in with some of the actions. 

On Tuesday we played some matching games, this was all about turn taking and learning the names of our friends in the group. 

On Wednesday we did some cutting and sticking and made some lovely sticking pictures.We also did some balancing with the scales and the compare bears. 

On Thursday we decorated and made some Dens with some large boxes. The children loved this and worked together really well. 

On Friday we continued with our box ply and made some rockets with the playdough.

We have played lots of turn taking games to encourage playing and working together this week. The children have really enjoyed this and gained lots of confidence in the class. 

The children are really enjoying our healthy overs activities and the children are really progressing their coordination skills. 

We have also enjoyed some time in softplay in small groups as well as making use of the outside space for short periods of time. 

This week we will be exploring ‘Colours and Shapes’ . I am sure the children will enjoy this and we have some great activities planned.

The Healthy Movers activity will be continuing with ‘Birds in the Trees.’ This is all about supporting stability and balance. This is quite a challenge for the children.

Charlie Bear will be starting to make his adventures home with the children this week. We look forward to reading about what he has been up to over his time with you. If it’s easier you can email any photos to Zoe on the email address below.
