Hello everyone!
We have had a super fun week doing lots of different activities both inside and outside with Miss Quinn😁!
This week we have been learning lots about seasons. We took our learning outside where we worked in teams to make some homes for hedgehogs. Together, we read a book all about hedgehogs which taught us about hibernation. Outside, we gathered leaves and sticks and bundled them together to create homes for the hedgehogs🦔.
This week we also learned a new sound ‘e’ and learned lots of words beginning with this sound. With Miss Quinn, we used paper plates to make our own elephants🐘. For this task we used scissors to cut out the face, ears and trunk from the paper plate and used glue to stick them together. The last step was to stick on some googly eyes using glue ✂️✏️🖍 We used a variety of coloured pens and pencils to colour in our elephant. We had lots of fun doing this and enjoyed showing our elephants to each other once they were finished, it was great seeing them all look so different!
After learning the letter e and writing it on our whiteboards, we went outside to use chalk to practise writing it on the ground.
Every morning we always practise writing the letters that we have learned previously. Here are some pictures of us showing off our letter formations including s, a, t, p, i, n, c, k and e.
This week we also made our own Autumn tree pictures using leaves and sticks. We went outside and collected lots of leaves and sticks to use for our pictures and then we were given a bundle of them as we sat in groups to use. We used a mixture of different coloured leaves. We had to break some sticks to make them smaller to fit onto the paper. This activity linked in with our Seasons topic as we spoke about the colour of the leaves on the trees and how they change as we approach Autumn🍁🌳.
In Maths we have been learning about time, specifically day and night. We spoke about our daily routine on a school day and used some pictures to sequence the day. We learned about shadows and went outside and used chalk to draw round shadows that we found on the ground. Some of us wanted to draw round Miss Quinn and each other😃 Later on, we went back outside to notice how the shadows have moved☀️.
