Stick Man

Hello everyone,

Last week we enjoyed listening to the series of Shark in the park along with other tories with repeated refrains. The children have been joining in with the repeated refrains. We have been painting a self portrait using the mirrors. We have talked about our eye colours, hair colour/length, nose, mouth and shape of face. Our paintings are up in the classroom on display. We have also been playing some number games in small groups. On Monday afternoon we went to soft play. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon we went on the new play trail at school. We did lots of balancing and climbing. On Wednesday afternoon we picked raspberries from the garden and then cooked raspberry muffins. They looked very yummy. On Thursday afternoon we went out on the balance bikes for a ride and did some Cosmic Kids yoga using the story of We're going on a bear hunt. For snack we made cheese on toast. On Friday afternoon we played shape bingo. 
Throughout the week different groups of children have been helping to prepare snack and look after preschool pets. On Wednesday morning we had PE with Mr Treble. We played a variety of games moving in different ways and standing on one leg. 

This week we are going to listening to the story of Stickman and doing a variety of activities using the theme of Stickman. 

Jennie Jigsaw:- We will be talking about how we can look after our classroom. 

Letters and Sounds

We will be using the signs from Read write inc which are "my turn, your turn" "talk to your partner". We are also going to be joining in with repeated refrains and using body percussion.
