Tay Class News
Tay Class have had another busy couple of weeks. The classroom has been very warm so we’ve enjoyed lots of fresh air outside at the trim trail, kick pitch and the playground.
We listened to the story of the colour monster and coloured in our own monsters. We listened to lots of other stories too.
We listened to lots of songs and rhymes and made our own Incy wincey spiders.
B did great counting and stuck in the correct answers. Well done B!
A and M enjoying a story in the library corner. Great listening and looking.
C having a relax on the cool grass. Great idea C!
B took a selfie with his missing tooth. His tooth fell out but luckily Miss A found it on the floor.
Tay Class Update
The first few weeks of the session have gone well in Tay Class. The children have been very engaged during play and whilst exploring resources.
Our topic is ‘People Who Help Us’. We have been learning through songs and stories as well as playing with some emergency vehicles and a police station. We have used our art skills to make a variety of vehicles too. Some of the class added labels to diagrams of fire fighters and police officers and matched people to their vehicles.

We had fun outside too at the trim trail.

Tay Class Update
Last week was another busy week in Tay Class. Here are a some photos of what we’ve been doing…
All of us really enjoyed playing the glockenspiels:
We have listening to the story and songs about ‘What the Ladybird Heard’. We played a game on the Phonics Bloom website where we matched the sound to the correct animal. Below ‘A’ and ‘H’ are matching the pictures of baby animals to the pictures of the adult animal.
‘B’ and ‘L’ have really enjoyed playing the keyboard. They have been learning to wait and take turns.
‘Choose Time’…
‘A’ enjoyed modelling with the plasticine. ‘H’ build a super model with the Duplo and ‘A’ enjoyed playing with a new dinosaur that Miss M. kindly brought in for us.
Trim Trail fun…
exploring, balancing, climbing and running!
‘A’ and ‘A’ learning to share resources
Tay Class Health Week Fun
Last week was ‘Health Week’ in school. The Health Committee worked hard to organise lots of activities so thank you very much to them for this.
Tay Class enjoyed songs and games about healthy food. We absolutely loved the ‘Smoothie Bike’. ‘H’ helped chop up some fruit and then most children took turns to add in the fruit and the juice. Most of us took turn to pedal the bike to make the blender work. The final result was some delicious healthy smoothie which some of us tried. ‘A’ really enjoyed his and drank it all. Great team effort Tay Class!
Tay Class had a very different PE time: there were sensory stations set up in the hall. Many of us loved the bubbles and the tent with lights and music. There was a sensory path to walk over and a foot spa full of orbeez- which ‘L’ especially enjoyed. We also cleaned the ‘germs’ off the hands and explored the touch and feel tray.
We really enjoyed using the bubble machines in class too.

Some of the class enjoyed making salt dough. Pouring, mixing and kneading. Look at those faces… so focussed!
The children made collage spring flowers for our window then ‘H’ helped Miss M. to paint stalks for our flowers and butterflies too. Fantastic!
Here are a few photos of some of the tasks at the teaching table this week. ‘C’ and ‘B’ did well on the matching tasks. ‘A’ and ‘A’ used their fine motor skills to carefully complete the letter ‘h’ with a dabber. They also focused well whilst overwriting the letter h and their name too.
A few photos from ‘Choose Time’…
‘A’ has enjoyed creating Numberblocks using plasticine or play dough.
What a busy week it has been!
Finally, here a few more photos of the children playing at the trim trail. Not so sunny this time but that didn’t stop us. Lots of exploring, climbing, balancing and challenging themselves!
‘B’ loved pulling the chimes back, letting them go and listening to the sounds they made as they bumped together.
Tay Class update..
Tay class have been very busy the last couple of weeks so here is some of what we’ve been doing…
Some of the class enjoyed coming into school in their pyjamas last week for world book day. They enjoyed listening to adults reading stories, looking at books and stories on the ipad too.
‘H’ was very excited to make numbers with both the arrow cards and the Numicon. He started at 1 and went up to 145! We had to tidy up for lunch or he would have kept going. What great focus ‘H’!
The children (and adults!) enjoyed playing shakers or drums for music. We were practising playing to the beat, playing up high and down low. ‘A’ is especially good on the drums. We liked a few songs showing different instruments too.
‘A’ enjoyed using the Numicon to count in 2’s and also is enjoying playing with the model Magic dough. He has used the dough to make different Numberblocks.
‘B’ enjoyed playing with the Numicon and Lego a lot this week. He tried at at some jigsaws too.
‘L’ helped Miss M. wash the dishes after lunch. She had fun playing with the water and the ducks too.
‘C’ has enjoyed looking at books and also taking photos and videos of herself on the ipad then looking at these.
‘A’ enjoyed number jigsaws and sorting numbers. Also playing with the Paw Patrol toys at Choose Time.
