WE have enjoyed our wet week!
You have booted-up and had time outside on the Trail Trail and Kick Pitch where we played together.
We have also enjoyed jigsaw challenges this week and have built towers with our giant Lego!
We have also worked really hard on our problem solving skills…we have matched our 1-10 acorn spots with the number pair.
….and finally we have enjoyed some sun in our classroom!
An action packed week has been enjoyed in Tay class.
We have enjoyed playing catch on the Kick Pitch and have built towers in the Outdoor Classroom where we worked well together.
In class we have created squirrel tails in our Autumn Art class and matching the heads and tails of safari animals in our learning.
We have also worked with colours and monster pictures in learning how to recognise colour and parts of the monsters’ bodies.
We have had great fun in P.E. and donned our waterproofs to enjoy time outside on the Trim Trail.
We also enjoyed a sensory experience with jelly – lots of messy, tasty, fun!
Lovely to see everyone back after the October holiday. We’ve had a fun week… we celebrated ‘M’s’ Birthday with some treats and this delicious cake that was sent in from ‘M’s’ parents! Thank you to them again. We also had some Halloween fun. Many of us enjoyed Halloween PE and the Halloween party followed by some tasty treats.
Welcome back to the Tales of Tay!
We have enjoyed meeting up again after our well-earned break. We had such a busy start to our first year at St Mary’s and have continued in the same vein this week!
We have wellied-up and enjoyed Trim Trail increasingly muddy fun! Songs and personalised learning have focused minds keenly in our Literacy and Numeracy and we have had great fun with flour!
We have read, drawn, worked out puzzles, matched pairs, listened to initial sounds, played in the mud and the sand, made Autumn Art leaf pictures, and completed jigsaws! All in all, a busy week 1!
In Lomond Class we made chocolate chip cookies this week.
We did good looking and listening. We waited for our turn and mixed the ingredients together. The mixture smelled good before baking and even better after.
Everyone enjoyed eating the warm cookies!
We brought the curtain down on a very busy but successful first term. We have made lots of friends and learned lots of amazing facts and skills over the past 8 weeks. The highlight of this week was our funny but edible squishy ghosts we made during Food Technology.
Enjoy the pics below, and we hope everyone has a lovely week off.
In Tay class we can’t quite believe that we have been together for over 2 months and it’s now the October break.
We have learned so much…We are on our 6th initial sound, can build our names and practice our fine motor skills. We have also enjoyed Art and Music and Sensory play together.
We have played inside and out! In the sun and in the rain! We have made friends together and lots of happy memories!
We wish all of our followers a lovely break and we hope you join us again after the break to read about our adventures to come and our memories waiting to be made!
We have enjoyed another busy, busy, week!
We have loved playing in the colours of the Sensory Room and have also enjoyed exploring Autumnal colours in our Topic work…where we have also enjoyed listening to songs to do with the leaves changing colour and falling from the trees.
In our Art work we have enjoyed designing Autumn trees with paints and cotton buds as brushes.
As the weather has turned a bit cooler, we have wrapped up warm for our time outside and have ventured into the Field, where we have loved running around with loads of space.
!!
It was lovely that every one of us had a parent or both parents in our class for our recent ‘Sharing the Learning’ event. Thank you again to our parents for coming along.
Some highlights of the past couple of weeks:
We have been exploring with paint and used our motor skills to make some hedgehogs which we’ve added to our Autumn display.
We’ve also been using our motor skills to ‘rescue the toys’ and we’ve practised our cutting skills too.
Most of us enjoyed some sensory play with water and bath salts / bath bombs.
We decorated some biscuits – using our knives to spread the icing then adding some sprinkles.
’L’ has been enjoying doing some new jigsaws. ‘A’ and ‘A’ continue to enjoy building with cubes.
We have had a wonderful week!
As the weather has turned a little more Autumnal we have enjoyed time in the Outdoor Classroom and the Sensory Room, where we have enjoyed the lights and the music!
In class we have worked on our find motor skills with dabbing practice. We have also made great progress in independently building our names…and the whole alphabet!
In terms of building, we have also worked very well together in constructing towers in the classroom!
