This week with the birch room we have had so much fun, we have been learning about birds and went a trip to the woods where we were looking for different birds and using a book to identify what one we found.
we have been enjoying mixing and pouring using some real tea pots etc and exploring some mathematical language.

Bookbug came back for a little visit where we enjoyed listening to a story, singing songs using the stretchy Lycra and learned a new song for our peer massage.

we have made some tents which we are going to continue in the woods with the giraffe and peacock group (it will be the squirrels and tigers turn in a few weeks) and been solving design problems when exploring different construction resources.

Welcome back to the children after the christmas break, this week we have been talking a lot about winter where we were talking about what we might wear in the winter, the weather and where are all the birds.

we were also in the gym hall playing some games, taking part in massage, having a look around the school with a visit to a classroom, learning about syllables with drum sticks, making our own bus to go on a journey, matching different winter items and explored patterns and making a number line.
