Happy Holidays

Thank you for a great half term Lilac Class. You have worked super hard and learnt so much! 

I hope you have a lovely holiday and a good rest and I will see you in November when our new topic will be DINOSAURS!

Homework Bingo is in your book bags if you want to make a start on your dinosaurs learning.

Happy Holidays! Mrs Welbank

Pumpkins

We have been exploring the texture and appearance of pumpkins. How did it feel? What could you see inside?

Music

We really enjoyed our session with Roz from the music hub yesterday. We learnt to keep a rhythm and joined in with some songs. We changed the tempo or volume too. Roz will be back after the holidays to teach music on a Tuesday afternoon.

Marvelous Maths

Over the last two weeks Blue Class have been learning to add and subtract; we have used counters, cubes and number squares to help us.

As you can see, we also did maths learning outside!

Pyjama Drama

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Pyjama Drama. We acted out different Traditional Tales and played music to songs and rhymes. 

William was the wolf, blowing hard to blow down the little pig's straw house.

We all enjoyed using the musical instruments to tap out rhythms.

Beebots

We have enjoyed directing the Beebots by sending them forward or backwards. We have loved to watch them move and follow the movements we programmed them to make. 

This week's learning

We have been looking closely at Autumnal items and using them within our provision.

We have been printing using leaves.

We went on an autumn walk around school.

We have been recognising numerals and counting the pine cones.

We have been using pine cones to create different patterns in the playdough

We have been using the sticks to make playdough hedgehogs

Fabulous forest schools!

We had a brilliant time in our new forest school area this afternoon! We loved exploring and as part of our topic we used natural materials to make characters or objects from Jack and the Beanstalk.

Maths of the Day!

Yellow class had a great time doing our maths of the day today. We were working out which numbers we could add together to make a total. Here are some pictures of our lesson. Can you try this at home?

Wonderful Writing!

Red Class have been working super hard with their sentence writing this week. They have been learning how words combine to make sentences and using these skills to write setting descriptions. 

Comment with some super descriptive sentences about the big bad wolf. Don't forget to use capital letters, full stops and adjectives.
