We have had a wonderful start to the new half term, I have been blown away by the wonderful energy, talk and the most amazing play ever! It is always such a privilege to see the children taking their new knowledge and skills into their play.
In Drawing Club this week we read Where the Wild Things are, the children made excellent wild things, ask them to show you their roars, gnash their teeth and claws!
This half term we are learning about Amazing Animals, we started our learning by exploring Jungle Animals, we have learnt about the different animals who live in the jungle and what jungles are like.
The children have spent a lot of time building animal enclosures and dens!
I have been impressed with everyone's writing this week, we have introduced finger spaces and full stops this week and the children are beginning to use these in their writing, they have also been extremely helpful when I 'forget' to use them.
We have also been practicing our fine motor skills, remember to look through your Spring 2 knowledge organiser for simple activities you can do at home to help support this vital area of development.
In Make and Create we've been making animal faces, these have not come home yet as we have put them up in the classroom.
We had a wonderful time with Coach Luca this afternoon we also had our first Charanga music lesson with a hefty dose of the Wellerman too!
We had a wonderful time on Thursday being Jungle animals in the hall
Moving our attention to next week:
Drawing Club: Banana Man
Maths: Number sentences using + =
Understanding the World: We're Going on Safari
Children have started in their new Read Write Inc groups, most children will be bringing home either a sheet, a book or both, please spend some time supporting the children with these tasks, I have noticed a number of children mispronouncing some of the sounds this video below we help reinforce the correct pronunciation.
Children should have brought home a learning sheet with them, if they would like to return it we will happily hang it up on the castle!
It has truly been a wonderful week!
If there is anything we can do to help do not hesitate to get in touch.
