Hello all,

As there were no sightings of the Big Bad Wolf who has gone missing last week from our classroom, the children started getting increasingly worried. During a discussion we have came to a conclusion that the wolf must be embarrassed about his bad behaviour so he is hiding in the forest. The children think that he is good now and they want the wolf to come back. They are worried that he is cold and all alone. To show the wolf the way back to our classroom we have made footprints in the garden and have written a letter to the wolf saying that we believe that he has changed and we miss him. The children were delighted and so excited to find the wolf sheltering in the den made by the children. The wolf joined in playing 'What's the time Mr Wolf' game which was much enjoyed by the class.

Throughout the week we have been looking at animal footprints. The children have created variety of footprints in art and have become very good at matching animals to their footprints.

Next week we will make secondary colours out of primary colours.

Maths

In maths we have focused on counting with one to one correspondence up to 20 using a bead string. Next week we will be matching numbers with quantities.

Phonics

This week the children have been introduced to following letter sounds: j, v, w. We have been playing phonics games and matching captions with the corresponding pictures.

Next week we will learn the letter sounds: x, y, z and qu.

Next Friday is a mufti day. The children can wear their own clothes in exchange for an item for our Christmas hamper.



















Have a great weekend!

Mrs Sheehan

 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.

 Welcome back,  It has been a good week in foundation and the children seem very happy to be back with their friends. We have created a Winter area for the children to play and learn in, with lots of activities relating to the cold. I have included some photos for you to see.  Next week we are going to be starting  stay and play sessions. We have put families into groups so that we don't have too many people in the unit at once. Please make sure that you know what date you are invited to join us and speak to me if you have any queries. Child Initiated Stay and Play Sessions Happy New Year to you all.

 Hello all, We have a had a very Chinese week in the unit with lots of exciting activities relating to the Chinese New Year. The children have made Chinese dragons, prepared and eaten noodles using chop sticks, looked at China on our map and learnt about the Chinese Zodiac story. It has been a very busy week. The children have also tried to do some Chinese writing which was fantastic. We always enjoy this festival as it really captivates their interest  especially as we are looking at other countries each day on our map. On Tuesday, Reception class went for their first school trip to The Snow Centre. The children were very excited going on a coach as for most of them it was the first time having that experience. I'm glad all the children found the courage to go down the slope. The children were amazing and the staff from the centre commented on our children's excellent behaviour. Next week is half term and we are all looking forward to a rest. I hope you all have a good b...
