Happy Thursday everyone!

It’s a bit chilly out but we are fully charged Taycells (other battery products are available!) enjoying every crisp moment…we like crisps…and crisp mornings.

Busy, busy…

P.E. – Even more popular than crisps. We love running, jumping and balancing.

Architects in the making…Through intensive interactions we have practiced our knowledge of symmetry and balance in our constructions. Good job done!

Sensory….We made our own slime pool…such fun!…and then quite a challenge to be free of!

Autumn here we come!

Welcome back! A short week in the world of SuperTay – but what a busy one!

Some of us have begun reading books in the course of our Literacy classes and have powered on with our blending of sounds to build our skillsbase!

In our Numeracy and Beyond Number work we are learning to recognise 2D shapes and how to build number bonds with Numicon.

With the start of Autumn, we have also broken open our wellies and  suitably suited and booted have splish-splashed our way through our time outside.

We have made jellyfish in our Art & Craft lesson and eaten lots of jelly at lunch time…We love lunch time! We have also played with slimy pasta and jelly…a new combination!

September weekend is ahead of us! We can’t quite believe it!

And what a week we have had! We have built with blocks, play sand and magnetic sand.

We have also worked on our CVC blending and our Numicon number bonds.

In our Art & Craft work we have worked so hard on images relating to our topic and have finished our corridor display. We think it looks lovely!

We’ll aim to bring your more pictures of our Literacy and Numeracy learning after the break! We’ve just been so busy!

We wish you all a lovely long weekend and we’ll see you on the other side!

Welcome!

We have been busy, busy, this week!

For some of us, our reading of CVC words is going great guns – we are even working with recognising mixed middle sounds!

In our Beyond Number work we have been looking at repeating patterns and learning how to recognise which shape or colour follows on from the previous one.

In our sensory explorations we have loved our water play with our favourite toys joining in!

We have also works on our building skills…and our Art skills…We made sea turtles!!..with googly eyes and everything!

Well the weather has changed…the summer sun has hidden itself behind the clouds a wee bit this week but we have kept our sunny disposition in Tay!

We have furthered our CVC word-building prowess in our Literacy studies.

In Numeracy some of us have begun to use the 10-frames to help us develop our Number Bond skillset.

We have also loved our Sensory times and immersed ourselves this wee in the wonderful world of magic sand! We started exploring the separate colours and then experimented with mixing them together to see what other colours we could create!

We have also started our Under The Sea topic and have learned about the amazing world of Octopuses and created our own seascape pictures using sand, cotton wool, blue paints and foam seaweed and fish. We think they look amazing!

What a busy week we have had… We have learned so much in our literacy classes… We have learned about the different types of fruit there are and many of us are beginning to develop our awareness of the blending sounds of CVC words. We are also focusing on the middle vowel sounds.

In our Numeracy we are working on number bonds and number formation. We are also developing our sequencing skills and learning how to follow patterns.

We have been painting and practising our building skills!

We have also enjoyed water play and time outside with our friends…and friends from other classes.

Busy, busy!

Well…Welcome once more to our story.

We continue to explore, entertain, and enthral!

This week, in the World of Super Tay, we have explored sound and vibration through musical instruments, as well as texture and sensation in sand…and the Trim Trail…complete with Water Sensory.

We have also engaged with Numicon number bonds, and sequenced pattern threading, which has also developed our fine motor skills.

We have doubled our Duplo skills in building tower blocks and honed our sand crafting skills…oh, and jigsaw expertise!

No Tay! No party!
