The books the children have chosen.

The past week saw nearly all the children enjoying a trip to the library. Each child chose a book they thought the rest of the group would enjoy reading.
From many of the stories chosen we have planned activities for the coming week. For example, a number of pirate stories were chosen, so we have put the pirate ships with the wooden construction. We have put a water activity with 'How to wash a wooly mammoth', and a pet shop with 'Dogs go shopping'.

MATHEMATICS,our next steps. For the bear stories we have put the sorting bears in the number area, with lots of different containers, boxes and small trays so the children can group, sort, count and make patterns with the different size and coloured bears.
SOUNDS AND LETTERS. another book that was chosen was 'never shake a rattlesnake' which we will read as we continue to enjoy rhymes.
On Tuesday we will join Reception to take part in their topic about Chinese new year. We will be dividing into 2 groups and the children  will spend either the morning or afternoon.

STAY AND PLAY. If you would like to stay and play with your child, read them a story, or even paint a picture! we are having a stay and play on Thursday 29th January and Wednesday 4th February.
Door opens at 8.30 am and the session finishes at approx 9.10am
