 Hello all, Our focus story this week was Colour Monster. We spoke about different feelings which we all experience. We also discussed calm down strategies such as deep breathing, bubbles, count to 10, listen to relaxing music with your eyes closed.  During carpet sessions, we have been describing our friends. The children were good at identifying what's on the outside e.g. hair colour and clothes. We helped the children to describe what was on the inside. They were very good at this and were able to identify kindness, happiness and other emotions.  This week we have also begun learning about spiders and spiderwebs. The children were very curious when finding out how spiders are catching insects for their meal. If you find some webs during the weekend, please take a picture and bring it to school to share with the class.  Phonics This week in phonics the children were introduced to the following letter sounds: ck, e, u. We have also learnt the tricky word I. Please , keep revisitin

 Hello all, It was lovely to see some of you at the Harvest coffee morning today. The children have enjoyed practicing the songs throughout the week and I think you will agree they performed well. We have  been observing the changes in the trees as they start to change colour. We went for a nature walk and collected lots of leaves for our Autumn area.  We will be focusing on cobwebs and spiderweb's over the next couple of weeks. The children have enjoyed junk modelling using recyclable boxes. Could you please bring in your recycle stuff so that the children can be creative with them. They have made robots and have used scissors, tape, paper and string to create all sorts of amazing things.  We are going to be writing poems about  spiders, we will be reading lots of rhyming books that the children really enjoy and their favourite songs. Maths This week in maths we continued working on sorting and comparing quantities. We explored mathematical language such as : more, fewer, the same

 Hello all, This week we have begun learning songs for the Harvest Festival. The children found lots of colourful autumn leaves in the garden which they have used for cooking in our mud kitchen. We have seen lots of amazing pies and beautifully decorated cakes.  The children also loved doing a puppet show. They used puppets and dressed up to perform for their friends. Following the children's interest, next week, we will create our own puppets. Phonics  In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: i, n, m, d. Please revisit these sounds at home during the weekend. We greatly appreciate your support. Please, use the link below to access Little Wandle's section for parents.
