Week beginning 13th ~November

Assessment and Development Class

This week we are doing lots of learning through the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Some of the activities we will be doing are;

• listening to and talking about the story
• listening to and joining in the song
• taking turns and remembering where the cards are to make a pair
• using playdough to complete activities
• making a house out of construction resources
• decorating the pig’s houses
• taking turns during the bingo game
• listening to instructions to colour a picture

Today we used Duplo, Stickle bricks and wooden brick to make a house for the three pigs. The best bit was pretending to be the Big Bad Wolf and huffing and puffing and trying to blow the houses down!

Look at all our hard work!

Today we joined with the primary one and two classes for the Halloween Costume Parade! We all looked fantastic!

When we returned to class we carved a scary, spooky, pumpkin! We all enjoyed dooking for apples! Some of us were brave enough to put our face in the water!! We had a fantastic party with lots of dancing, musical chairs, pass the spooky pumpkin and ate lots of sweeties!

We have been trying hard with lots of activities to develop our fine motor skills. Look at how busy we have been ripping paper, cutting paper and painting with a toothbrush!

We also enjoyed the listening game where we had to dance around the class and move in the way we were told (crawling, jumping, hopping, running) to a bean bag when the music stopped!
