Our Gruffalo Garden Centre and Cafe have been a huge hit today. Lots of opportunities for communication skills, role play, mark making and exchanging money. At the end of the day learners shared with the class who they were buying flowers for, lots of special grown ups at home but so nice to hear lots of children say it was for themselves as a treat, self care so important. 🌸
Our first drumming class with Joy, we learned about African Drums and how to make an open and closed tone on our drums.
We love gym with Mrs Ritchie and we always have class teacher gym on a Friday with Mrs Sjoberg. Can you imagine P1A’s excitement when they saw Mrs Ritchie had left the equipment out for us (and can you imagine Mrs Sjoberg’s face!)
We were so sensible and had an absolute ball!
As part of our topic we’ve been learning how to stay safe around bonfires, fire works and sparklers. We know about Guy Fawkes and have been learning about how to make different firework shapes and designs in art.
We had a lovely play outside today, lots of rolling and climbing and running.
On Tuesday we were invited to watch a theatre production called ‘Four Go Wild in Wellies’ it was really funny and we had to use our imaginations because there was no speech just music and movement.
🍂 We were happy to get back to Welly Wednesday today. Our soft start outside involves lots of exploring the changing season as well as manage risk through tree climbing. Lots of positives for strengthening gross and fine motor skills and children feeling they can learn how to take risk in their play and problem solve how to stay safe.
🍂 Our learning focus this week was numeracy in the outdoors, we gather objects and ordered them by length. We found objects longer and shorter than our hands.
