Hello everyone,

Wow, what a great first week back we have had. We started our week by reading the story of Pumpkin Soup by Helen Copper. On Tuesday the children took the wheelbarrows up to the poly tunnel and collected the 7 different sized pumpkins. They really enjoyed this job. In the afternoon the children helped to scoop out the pumpkin and design different faces on them. The children practiced their spoon and knife skills. They talked about the textures they could feel. On Tuesday morning we had Mr Treble for PE and we did lots of games which involved negotiating spaces. We are getting really good at putting on our plimsols. On Wednesday morning the children helped to make pumpkin soup which they really enjoyed. On Wednesday afternoon we went to the chickens and gave them the excess pumpkins which the chickens loved. All the leaves had come off the tree's so we had a great afternoon throwing piles of leaves up into the air and rolling in big piles of leaves. On Thursday we had our NSPCC PANTS Day. We got to meet Pantasarus the dinosaur and watch the NSPCC PANTS video. We then designed our own pants.
On Thursday afternoon we went to the play trail and then played some ring games in the hall. 
On Friday some children went to watch Year 3 Assembly which they really enjoyed and did some great listening. On Friday afternoon the children made their own potions. This idea came from the children from our rhyming soup potion game. 

This week we will be talking about bonfires and fireworks. We will be exploring and talking about colours, mixing colours and sounds of fireworks. We will be creating our own firework pictures using different techniques and mixing colour. We will be making our own music to represent fireworks.  We are going to be experimenting with chocolate and making edible sparkles. Also we we will be making our own name rockets and decorating the letters of our name in stars. Its going to be a very exciting week. 

Home learning

Can you find different logos and signs in your environment? Can you recognise what they are? Bring them in and show your friends during group time.


Letters and sounds:- 


This week we continue to  play a game of rhyming soup as a group. We will be finding words that rhyme together for our soup e.g. rat and bat. We have also begun to learn the Read Write inc pictures of apple, Maisie next to the mountain and net.
