Stories as a stimulus…

We have had another busy week practising our syllables and learning more about rhyme. We have been able to listen and clap the beat in 1, 2 and 3 syllable words and have been playing games to match rhyming pictures and the odd one out. We enjoyed reading Stickman to find lots of rhyming words in the text too.

We have been reading number stories about ticklish two, butterfly three and feathery four and have used the characters from these stories to help us with learning the correct number formation.

Our story of the week focused on the theme of difference and provided a good stimulus for discussion about the importance of being yourself. We all agreed life would be very dull if we were all exactly the same. Based on the story we designed our own underpants using different colours and designs and have displayed them on our story of the week display.

We worked on developing both our listening and fitness this week across PE with a variety of games where we worked individually and ass part of a team. It was great fun!

We are having a great time getting to know each other and are making new friends as we play. Here is a little snap of some of the learning taking place across the other areas.

Have a lovely weekend! See you all Monday.
