We’ve been continuing to work on writing our names this week.

We also continued our learning about syllables. We made pictures of some of our favourite foods and then counted the syllables in each word.

We also watched a video showing us the tripod grip we can use to hold our pencil correctly. Click on the video link below to watch it together at home too…

We also continued investigating and creating repeated patterns. We have made patterns with playdoh, peg boards, played Pattern games on the chromebooks, created pattern scarfs and decorated our home corner with lovely patterned wallpaper.

Later in the week, we worked in groups to continue some ‘caterpillar patterns’ on the big board and then used paint to continue some more! Some of us got very creative and made our own patterns using shapes. Some of us challenged ourselves to make more complicated patterns.

We started learning about our first ‘I wonder…’ this week. We talked about stars and constellations. We created some lovely art work to display in class.

On Friday, we had a chance  to look at another ‘wonder’.  Ayla had wondered about “feeling happy” and we had a lovely circle time talking about our emotions, what happiness is and the things that make us happy.

We went our first village walk this week too. We talked about how to stay safe when we are out walking around the village.
