Hello everyone,
We hope you have all had a great weekend with family and friends. It was lovely to see lots of you at Stay and Play on Saturday
Last week we enjoyed listening to the different variations of Shark in the Park. We listened to Shark in the dark, Shark in the park and Shark in the park on a windy day and Oh no, Shark in the Snow. We were great at joining in with the repeated refrains.
On Monday group of children went to PE and completed an obstacle course that included jumping with two feet on the floor and from height, balancing on a wide and a narrow beam and balancing across stepping stones of different heights. We talked about using our arms to help us and whether it was easier to balance by moving quickly or slowly. We tried hard to make a line and wait for our turn and we were great at cheering on our friends. We also did lots of sweeping up the leaves outside in the garden. On Monday afternoon we played shape Bingo. We are getting really good at recognising a square, circle, triangle and rectangle.
On Tuesday morning we made shark pizza ready for our afternoon snack or to take home. The children were amazing at trying new foods in particular olives. In the afternoon we went on a Autumn scavenger hunt around school.
On Wednesday morning a group of us had PE with Colleen and Lauren and completed an obstacle course that included jumping with two feet on the floor and from height, balancing on a wide and a narrow beam and balancing across stepping stones of different heights. We talked about using our arms to help us and whether it was easier to balance by moving quickly or slowly. We tried hard to make a line and wait for our turn and we were great at cheering on our friends. A group of us went to the care home for a sing song, story and to eat chocolate cake which the residents made this week. A group of children went on a leaf hunt and sorted them into big, medium and small. In the afternoon we did some leaf printing.
On Thursday we did some bubble painting using autumn colours. We were great at making bubbles by blowing. In the afternoon we continued with our Autumn scavenger hunt around the school grounds.
On Friday morning we did some leaf threading. We were great at threading back to front using a needle and wool. In the afternoon we had great fun doing some conker rolling down the tubes and pipes.
Throughout the week we have enjoyed exploring the object tray and play eye spy with the objects along with guessing what is missing from the tray. We have enjoyed playing with the small world diggers and wooden blocks. Also playing with the small world playmobil park. We have been busy using our real life experiences to play in the role play home corner. On the finger frenzy table we have been using scissors to cut up leaves. This has developed our hand eye co-ordiantion and how to hold and use scissors. We have been busy constructing with the mobilo, wooden arches, transparent shapes and wooden dinosaurs. In the playdough we rolled out the playdough using the rolling pin and used the shark cutters. In the number area we have beenxploring making towers using unifix cubes.
We continue to be Respectful Raya which is one of our Building learning Powers. Here is some information about Respectful Raya:-
