Everything Changes

In circle time we have been discussing how things change. We talked about the changes we have in our life such as getting older, starting school, moving house.

This year we have all  had to deal with many changes in our lives because of Covid-19.

Changes can make us feel happy or excited but sometimes they make us feel sad or worried. We thought about things we have in our “tool box” that we could use when had to face change that makes us anxious. We could ask our back up team for help, or stop and take a moment or we could use our peace button.

We read the story of The Koala  Who Could about Kevin the koala who learnt to deal with change and overcome his worries. 

 

Planting Sunflowers 🌻

This week we planted sunflowers. We talked about what our seeds would need to grow. We put our seeds into the compost and then we put them on the windowsill so they could get the warm sunlight. We now need to remember to  water them everyday.

Planting runner beans and radishes

We’ve had a busy week of planting this week. On Tuesday we planted runner beans in pots and this morning we planted radish in the school garden.

We’ve also enjoyed learning the ‘ou’ sound this week and had lots of fun making a mouse in a house.

Some of our  highlights this week include:

  • Making mice – Arthur
  • Planting – Amber
  • Making a house for a mouse – Finlay D
  • I liked learning the ‘ou’ sound – Brooke
  • Planting with Mrs Thomson – Daniel

 

Painting

This week in art we were using black paint to create these detailed houses. We had to control our paintbrush to create lines and patterns and work together to share resources and tidy up.

Mouse 🐁 House 🏠

This week our new sound is ou as in house, mouse, round, loud, cloud, found and  pound. We have been reading and writing ou words. We shared a story called Mouse House by John Burningham. To help us learn our sound we made a Mouse House to take home.
