Toys Workshop

As part of our new Toys topic we had a visiting workshop from a museum.  We discussed what we knew about toys from the past and looked at lots of old toys and modern toys-sorting and comparing them. We explored and played with them. Some were skills toys, puzzle toys and some were construction toys.  Some toys were over 100 years old! We were shown how to use the whip and peerie! We enjoyed listening to stories about toys from the past. We learned how glass marbles came to be a toy after they were used in  codd bottles and children wanted to play with them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literacy

We are continuing to work on learning to use sounds we know to read and write words. We are enjoying sharing a book together and helping each other with any tricky words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are learning to write tricky common words and like to test each other!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been sequencing pictures from our reading books to show we know what happens and using the pictures to retell the story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also have sentences which are jumbled and we have to reorder the words so that it makes sense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been using reading games to sort phoneme words and read them. We think up a sentence using some of the words to tell our partner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can use our word wall to make sentences from our reading book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numeracy and Mathematics

We have been working hard to learn our number stories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are learning the number bonds to 10 off by heart.

Other learning

In gymnastics we have been balancing on different parts of our bodies and trying to balance with just 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 parts of our bodies touching the floor.  We are very imaginative thinking of different ways. We also create mirror images of our partners chosen balance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We use the benches and mats to create a sequence of movements, using different ways to travel across the bench, jumping and landing in our Y, V, T, tuck and star shapes.
