We have enjoyed being with our friends again after the break.

Some of us are making great strides in our literacy and have moved onto beginning to work with CVC words and images. We are also continuing to work on our letter formation and practicing writing our name!

In Numeracy, we have worked on putting things and images into size order. We have also focused on replicating matchstick patterns, which has also practiced our fine motor skills.

We have also found time to play with bouncing putty and sensory tuff trays…along with time on the Kick Pitch and Trim Trail!

A lovely week has been enjoyed in Tay.

We can not believe that it is already half term – and half way through our first year at St Mary’s.

This week some of us have begun working on initial CVC words – their associate sounds and pictures.

We have also continued to work on our pattern construction and sequences in our Maths learning.

Busy bees that we are we have also found time to get muddy on the Trim Trail…and then get all cleaned up with sensory fun with bubbles and foam. We enjoyed feeling the textures as they change with water and the wonderful smells!

We wish you all a lovely half term holiday with your families and friends and hope that you join us again after the break to continue to share our journey!

Well…Welcome!

360 Alphabet work…

A-Z Train puzzles

Patterns a plenty…of our own workings…

Numbers…pictures and spot patterns.

Team Tay is on it!

Such commitment, and focus.

So, so, proud!!

What a wonderful week in the world of Tay!

We have loved our time outside on the Field…we have run, and run!

We have also made our own purple octopus models…complete with googly eyes! They’re so cute, and we’re so proud!

Our pencil control, in class, is going from strength to strength and we’re loving our Shapes songs…but still love our penguins!

Another busy, busy, week in Tay.

We have had a great time outside…suited and booted we have enjoyed running around with our friends.

We have also enjoyed some food technology and have made yummy biscuits with jam and icing…and jelly tots! Scrummy!

We also loved our Christmas Dinner…clean plates!

Our fine motor skills are also coming along fantastically…as we practice our pencil grip, we are working hard to control the pencil across lines and shapes.

In our numberwork we are increasingly confident at 1-10 and are going to be moving onto patterns and shapes!

We can’t believe that we only have a week to go before we have finished our first term!

What a busy first week of December!

We have been out on the field filling our lungs with fresh air as we ran around!

We have been to the Outdoor Classroom where we have engaged in Block Play!

We have been to the Sensory Room and enjoyed the lights and the music….We love the Infinity Panel!

We have been to the Trim Trail….complete with waterproofs and wellies as it’s a bit muddy…and we love mud!

We have learned lots in our classroom….We have learned about the initial sound ‘j’ and practiced our number work to 10.

We have painted monsters and loved our ‘What’s in the Box’ times….shaving foam was a big hit!

Another busy week in The Life Of Tay class!

We enjoyed making our gifts for the Christmas Fayre….we enjoyed the sensation of paint on our fingers and hands and enjoyed sprinkling the glitter!

We have advanced our Number work to recognise matching spots and numerals.

We have also enjoyed listening to stories in our Literacy time and meeting the challenge of building jigsaws of black line safari animals…and tracing animal outlines to practice our pencil control.

We have also had the tummy tickling experience of different flavours of jelly in our Tactile Time…and playing with our motor skills fishing game and ramps!
