We have had a very busy few weeks continuing to learn to recognise and write lots of new sounds and numbers.   In P.E we are continuing with our Body Moves which also helps to improve our listening skills.  In the afternoons we are continuing our topic called All About Me.  We are learning all about our 5 senses.  We had lots of good ideas and questions around this topic! We have been on listening walks outside, where we listened to the wind blowing through the trees and collected interesting items such as acorns, sticks, grass and leaves to touch and build with.  In class, we have explored our sense of smell where we had to guess what the scent was from covered tubs!  We did not like the coffee smell but we did like the smell of the baby bath liquid!

Over the last few weeks we have been busy learning the new sounds i, p, n, r and m. At the end of each lesson we teach our class puppet how to say the sound, how to write the sound and tell her some words containing the sound. Some of us have started learning to blend letters together to write short words. Next we will be learning the letters d, e, c and k. We have also been learning to read, write and order the numbers up to ten. We especially like the Jack Hartman number formation song with the funny chicken dance! Next we will be learning to recognise and write the numbers up to 20. In Circle Time we talked about the different jobs we know about and how adults use numbers and reading in their work. We all want to work hard so that we can count and read when we are big!

In our topic time we have started investigating our senses. We shared our ideas about what we wanted to learn and what we could do in school. We have tried out lots of our ideas already.
