The children have continued to build on their knowledge of rhyme by creating rhyming stews.  Most of the children are able to identify rhyming words and can say if a word doesn’t match in a rhyming family.  We’ve created our own rhyming stories and rhyming strings.  We’ve also been using technology to consolidate our learning of rhyming words.  We’ve been recording each other on the iPad and using the talking tubs to record our own voice saying nursery rhymes.

We’ve had some time to relax during this busy season as we build up to Christmas (ssshhh!).  We had Yoga sessions with Jan and mindfulness moments with Jen.  The children enjoy these sessions as it gives everyone a chance to pause and reflect during the day.

Outdoor Learning

The supertato theme has continued outdoors this week as the children were matching the correct amount of potatoes to numbered pots.  Developing their numeral recognition and 1to1 correspondence counting skills.  They also collected data to find out the most popular vegetable and learned how to record and represent their findings in different ways.

The children have been busy little elves in santa’s workshop creating gifts for the Christmas Fayre as part of a whole school enterprise project.  Come along to the Fayre on Friday to see their lovely work.
