STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Week

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what fantastic weather we have had. 

Last week we painted with water colours a picture of a footballer or car for our Father's Day card. We were all amazing at holding our paintbrush and carefully painting within the line. We had excellent control of the paintbrush. We all enjoyed cooking flapjacks for our dad's. We followed the recipe, cut up dried fruit, mixing ingredients and watching what happens when you heat butter up. 
During group time we listened to some Father's day stories and talked about why our dad's are special to us. Small display up later in the week. 
We all did really well with writing our names on the back of our cards.  We have really enjoyed playing outside in the beautiful weather. We have been exploring our initial sounds pots and coming up with different words beginning with s,j, and h. 

This week we are having a science, technology, engineering and maths week. The school are also doing this theme for the week. 
We will be doing lot's of different activities involving science, technology and maths. Each day there will different activities and challenges. We will be talking about what we think might happen, whats happens and how we can adapt our ideas.

Jennie Jigsaw:- Over the next few weeks we will be talking about our new schools and sharing some stories about starting school.

Sounds and Letters:- A mixture of rhyming, initial sounds and musical instruments.
