Week 4
This week we have been reading the story of Oliver’s vegetables. We used vegetables for printing and had great fun exploring the inside of a pumpkin. There were so many seeds. We are drying some and hope to plant them in the Summer.
We talked about Harvest and found out that many people around the world at this time of year say Thank you for all the food that is grown. We hid vegetables in the classroom and outdoor area for our friends to find!
We have also enjoyed lots of sensory play. Some of which was very messy!
Week 3
This week we have enjoyed the story of Polar bear, Polar bear what do you hear by Eric Carle. We used our sense of hearing to explore some musical instruments and listened to the different sounds in Forest School. We used all our senses when we had a cold, snowy sensory story about a polar bear exploring where he lived. The ice cubes melted quickly and made our hands all drippy and wet.
The children have brought home their first library book. We hope you enjoy reading it at home before they choose another one on Wednesday.
Week 2
This week we have been reading the story of Funny Bones. We are learning about our bodies and will be focusing on our Five Senses over this half term. We looked at x-rays and named the different parts of our body.
We have been developing our fine motor and enjoying Dough Disco.
Week 1
We have been settling into our routines this week and making new friends. We loved playing with the new toys and exploring the classroom. Dance with Sarah was great fun and Forest school was exciting.
