Hello everyone.....

 Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a wonderful weekend with your family and friends in the beautiful sunshine. It was lovely to see lots of you at Spring Fest. 

This week we have been sharing the information book:- This is how we keep healthy

On Monday in groups of 4 and 5 we drew around a friend and then drew the body parts on the outline along with labeling the different body parts. We also had PE and played some team games. In the afternoon we went to the forest school area and made skeletons using natural resources like leaves, stones, sticks etc.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we created our own healthy meals using a variety of media e.g. paint, collage and talked about our favourite and least favourite foods. On Tuesday afternoon we played body parts bingo which we all enjoyed doing. We are great at naming the different parts of our body.

On Wednesday morning a group of children went to the care home for a sing song, story and yummy cake. Another group of children had PE and practiced some tem games. In the afternoon we did the Hand washing experiment and learnt about how important it is to wash your hands and to sing Happy birthday!!

Can the children tell you about this experiment?

On Thursday morning we had the Life education and we got to meet Harold the giraffe. He talked about how to keep ourselves clean and we help to wash Harold and brush his teeth. We also learnt about the different parts of our body. We sang head shoulders knees and toes  and how important sleep is. 

On Friday morning we made a pasta salad to bring home. They looked very yummy. Please return the pre-school bowls this week.  In the afternoon we did some Yoga. We have been really lucky this week and have been enjoying the beautiful weather outside. 

Throughout the week we have enjoyed constructing with the lego, wooden shaped transparent block, pebbles, arches and octagons.  In the number area we have been playing with coloured sand with spoons and putting the correct number of spponfuls into the numeral pots. We have enjoyed marking making using the whiteboard and pens. We have also enjoyed using the playdough to make people. In the small world area we have been playing with the bugs and insects small world scene. On our finger frenzy table this week we have been threading beads onto the pipe cleaners for hairstyles . We have made repeating patterns. In the water tray we have been playing with tea and making cups of tea!!We have had the dolls house, fire station and hospital out on the floor in room 2. We have a shop as a role play area this half term.

Hello everyone....

Hello everyone,

We hope you have had a lovely weekend despite the rain.

On Monday morning we had PE and we practiced our bat and ball skills through a variety of games. In the afternoon a group of children went to Reception for a story, play and they explored the Reception outside area. On Tuesday morning we had our Kickboxing session which we all really enjoyed. We went on a monkey adventure. We used the skills of  jumping with two feet. On Wednesday morning a group of children visited the local care home for a sing song, story and cake. The other group of children did PE in the school hall practiced their  ball skills through using hockey skills to control their ball. Throughout the week we have been busy making some yummy Easter treats along with a Easter wreath. We have also done a science experiment involving rolling eggs in different types of material. Throughout the week we have enjoyed constructing with the marble run, flower garden construction, zoo animal wooden blocks.  In the number area we have been playing with the eggs, egg boxes, numerals and money. We have pretended to have an egg shop and have done lots of counting and solving number problems.  We have enjoyed marking making using the special drawing boards. We have also enjoyed using the playdough to cut out flowers and spring animals and decorating them with gems, pipe cleaners and buttons. In the small world area we have been playing with the Easter small world scene. On our finger frenzy table this week we have been designing our own eggs with pastic sticks, beads and gems. We have made repeating patterns.

We have now learnt all the Read Write Inc pictures and we are now focusing on Fred Frog. Fred Frog can only say sounds and no words. We have been playing lots of games with Fred. We have been doing lots of rhyming games and stories. We have also learnt the sound 'm,a,s,t,d,i,n'. Here is a video of the sound we have learnt to share at home- m Sound ,a Sound, s sound, t sound, d sound, i sound, n sound

During group time this week we talked about Reggie the Resilient tortoise friend Rose the Resourceful Spider and met Renee the Reciprocal Bee who is all about teamwork. 

How can you help your children establish Reciprocity at home?

Reciprocity is all about give and take, the fundamental skills for life long learning that we are aiming to instil are those of Interdependence - balancing independence and sociability;

Collaboration - the skills of learning with others; Empathy - thinking about others’ points of view and feelings; Listening - it’s more than just hearing and Imitation - picking up others’ habits and values. You can do this through play and day to day activities at home by: •Demonstrating/modelling being a good learner. •Work, play and learn alongside your children, enabling them to pick up good habits through imitation. •Make expectations of turn-taking and cooperation clear.

Some pictures from the week..

This week we have lots of fun Easter activities planned including a trip to the farm, hot cross buns, Easter egg hunt, Easter crafts and lots more.

Home Learning

Can you play a Fred Talk game at home?

Fred opens his fridge and what does he find?

Sound talk items you may find in a fridge, remember to say the words broken into sounds

e.g. Fred would say "ch - ee - s" for cheese and

"j - oo - s" for juice

-Can you help set the table for dinner and solve how many plates, bowls, forks, knives and spoons you will need? Can you add them altogether?

-Can you retell the sounds we have learnt at pre-school- m,a,s,t,d

-Can you practice your ball skills- catching, kicking, rolling, throwing. Can you use a smaller ball?

-Can you retell to your family something about your day?
