Hello everyone........





Year 1


Hello Everyone, 


The children have really enjoyed the story this week. They have done lots of role play and had some great ideas about what the bears should do about Goldilocks. The children liked making Bears which we have displayed on the wall. While the weather has been wet we have been spending time in the soft play room and the sensory room. The children have enjoyed playing games in small groups and have been developing their turn taking skills. 

Outside the children practiced their climbing  skills on the climbing frame. They have also been building with the construction materiels and planks.  

We have been using both classrooms as freeflow which the children have enjoyed

It was great to talk to you all at parents evening about the great achievements your children have made.  Zoe will be catching up with anyone who was unable to attend last week.


This week we will be continuing the story of The Three Bears and we have lots of fun things and games to explore.



Healthy Movers

This week we will be continuing moving our bodies to the sticky kids songs which we are sure the children will love.


Please keep the ‘Wow’s’ coming in. The children are learning many new skills that need to be celebrated!  I will put some more in the childrens bags this week.If you have any photos from the last couple of weeks please feel free to send them to Zoe on the email address below. The children love to recognise them on the big screen during group times. 


Home Learning

Can you look for different shaped items around the house?

Can you count to 5?


If you can continue to help your child to put on their own shoes, children are still finding this a challenge. This is a really useful skill to have. Also putting on their own coats. This really helps them to learn this valuable skill.

Hello everyone...





Year 1


Hello Everyone, 




We have had a nice week of learning together. We have played some games about emotions and enjoyed pulling some different faces and talked about how we were feeling and when we may see them.

We played some small group games and the children really liked the frog activity in the shallow water tray. Outside the children practiced their basketball skills. The role play area has all been about looking after the babies this week which has shown the children working together to see that all the babies are dressed and fed.


We have made the most of our lovely indoor spaces when it has been wet. The children have enjoyed the soft play room and the sensory room. The large box that 6 children could get inside was definitely a highlight of the week!


This week we will be focussing on the story of The Three Bears and we have lots of fun things and Maths games to explore.

Hello everyone....

 



Hello Everyone, 


We have had a very fun week with lots of learning along the way. We have been very creative and have been trying different types of painting. We covered the tables with foil and then made marks using various tools and paint. We then pressed the paper over the top to form our paintings. 

The children also enjoyed painting under the tables as this is great for developing core and arm muscle movements. 

During the week we experimented with our new stretchy band which is great for group times and singing action songs. The children have loved it!

The children made shape biscuits which they enjoyed as a special treat for snacktime. We have made the most of our lovely indoor spaces when it has been wet. The children have enjoyed the soft play room and the sensory room.

The children have been taking very well while completing small group tasks which has been great to see. 


This week we will be learning and talking about different emotions. We have lots of fun activities planned to keep us busy and build our knowledge of how we are feeling.

We will be  continuing to move in different ways and seeing how flexible we can be.

Hello Everyone, 


We have had a great week and the children have loved learning all about different shapes. We went on a great shape hunt round the building which they all enjoyed. We played some memory games during group times and singing and action songs. We have also played in the softplay room and sensory room as it has been so wet outside.

This week we will be continuing to focus on shapes and reading the story of ‘The Little Red Hen.’ We have lots of fun activities planned to keep us busy and build our knowledge of shapes and colours.
