The Daisies class enjoyed caring for a baby yesterday. We named the baby Olivia Rose and loved feeding her, pushing her in her pram and giving her a bath.

The Daisies class listened to a story called “Formidable Sid” yesterday. We looked closely at different pets and identified which animal was hiding behind the binoculars during a PowerPoint game. Finally, we identified what needs different animals have.
Today we had lots of fun with different activities and games. We played a farm animal matching game and had to find all the animals that were the same. We were confident individuals and effective contributors sharing and letting everyone have a turn.

Logan and John loved today’s rebound therapy session. Logan was practising his sit to stand, tuck and star jumps. He was listening and responding to Mrs Feeney’s instructions very well.
John enjoyed his session where he was bouncing independently and when holding a member of staff’s hands.

The boys in the Daisies class are loving our new gymnastics term at PE. Over the last 2 weeks, we have enjoyed developing our balancing skills using balance beams, benches, stepping stones etc. We have also worked on our core by using the exercise balls and peanuts.
Crackers of kindness
**Successful learners** **Effective contributors**
The Comets have been learning about what it means to be kind. There was lots of discussions on how we can be kind to people around us. We looked at different kind phrases and situations these might be used. The children then created crackers of kindness and selected phrases to put inside. Each child picked someone they would like to give a cracker of kindness to.
This week we have been focusing on taking turns and playing games. We have used games from the cupboard and enjoyed exploring them and then with support from staff playing them together.
We played animal dominoes and had to find the same animal to put down next. A class favourite was “Wally the washer”. Each person had a washing line and had to push the button on the washing machine to see what items fell out. We were confident individuals pushing the button which opened the machine door. We then had to put their coloured clothes onto our washing line. We had to wait a long time as each person had a turn. We all waited really well. It was a fun afternoon.
This week we have been outdoors lots. We have been playing lots of games and having fun. Some of the children have been running playing tig with peers and staff. We took a ball out and played catch. We stood in a circle and threw the ball and tried to catch it when it was thrown to us. It was fun and everyone enjoyed it. We also took some scarfs out to throw up in the air. They came down much slower than the ball.

The Daisies class enjoyed making a choice of what items to wish for in their Santa letters. We explored the Smyths website and chose 5 items that we liked.
We printed images and cut and stick them into a Santa letter. We practised overwriting our names on the bottom of the letter and are hoping to go and post them next week.
The Bluebells love being outdoor. We enjoy going to the garden on a walk. At the start of the school year we explored bubbles in the garden which was lots of fun. We revisited it this week using our bubble rocket launcher in the garden. The children thoroughly enjoyed seeing the rocket fly into the air and the bubbles that it produced. Some even tried to stomp hard to make the rocket soar into the sky. They enjoyed running and catching the bubbles and bursting them with their hands.
