On this page you can see updates over the term of our activities and learning.
Foundation stage children looked at the seasonal changes and the colours of the autumn leaves. They used small brushes to paint a trees trunk and branches. After this we used our fingers to paint the autumn leaves. Our creations are displayed on our art gallery.
Can you spot our hedgehogs? We used forks to print the spines.
Zowie from Compass GO joined FOundation classes this morning to do a workshop on understanding and managing feelings.
She shared The Colour Monster story and taught us some breathing techniques to help us if we need to feel calm.
Today we all got to test out our new balance bikes.
In maths today we have been learning about heavy and light. We used the balance scales to see what was heavier and lighter.
We are reading a story about Anna Hibiscus. She likes to climb a mango tree in her garden. We wondered what mangoes tasted like so we gave them a try.
“Sweet and juicy”
“Soft and sticky”
“ sour and squishy”
“Yummy”
“Delicious and tasty”
Thank you to all those who came to Mrs Smith’s Early Reading Workshop today.
It was lovely to see so many of you and hear how keen you are to help your children with reading at home.
The slideshow to accompany the workshop has now been added to the class pages. We look forward to the Maths workshop next week.
In foundation we have started our daily phonics lesson. We are learning new sounds and sayings to help us with letter formation.
We are learning to talk to our partners, my turn and your turn as well as phonics celebration actions.
