We have had a week full of excitement and there has been lots of chatting about the school disco. We loved sharing our costumes with each other and a few of us drew pictures of us at the school disco during our writing lesson on Thursday.
In Numeracy and Maths some of us have been learning to count in 2s and we have been learning about more than and less than. We have been using a number line to help us with this. We have also started to learn the number names and match the numeral with the world.
In Literacy we have continued to learn new sounds and this week we enjoyed decorating and cutting out some leaves for ‘l’ and writing the ‘f’ in the fish. We are all continuing to practise our letter formation along with our rhyming skills.
On Tuesday we learned about Diwali and it was lovely for those who celebrate Diwali to share this with the class. We also discussed what we some of our neighbours have done to celebrate Diwali. We coloured our own Rangoli patterns, made Rangoli patterns with chalk in the playground and also created our own Henna designs on hand templates. Our playground has never looked so colourful!
We have continued with our topic The Seaside and enjoyed our story of the week, Sharing a Shell. We tried to create pictures with shells by placing them underneath a piece of paper and rubbing them with a crayon. This was quite tricky however we enjoyed exploring the different textures of the shells and creating different patterns with the crayon rubbings.
On Wednesday, we absolutely loved practising our balancing skills in PE. We had to work carefully with a partner, keep each other safe but also working as a team to try and hold the balance. We were extremely proud of ourselves when we managed to hold it!
We spent Friday afternoon in the woodland. We love exploring the woodland and it really brings out our imagination. There was lots of cooking, swinging on trees and tyres and throwing of autumn leaves! We had a go at creating potions using some special ingredients and the pumpkins from our class. There was lots of excitement when the potion bubbled over!
Continuing with our pumpkin theme, we made pumpkins with Mr Eadie on Tuesday. We loved making these so much that some of us wanted to make a second one!
