This week...Autumn and shape

Hello everyone,


Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Last week we looked at shape by looking at shapes in our environment, printing with different sized circles, making a picture with different shapes and playing shape lotto. Also the children enjoyed doing an obstacle course with Alex in the hall. On Friday it was scoot to school day, it was lovely to see lots of children on their scooter. We had a scooter obstacle course outside which they all enjoyed. Pictures will be up on display this week.


Autumn and shape


This week we will continue our theme of shape along with starting to look at Autumn. We will be doing some Autumn crafts thinking about colour and shapes. We will be making an Autumn number line with conkers for our classroom. We will be sharing Autumn stories and talking about what happens in Autumn.


Home Learning

DON'T FORGET if you haven't had time to bring in a shape picture perhaps you could this week.


So why not look at pictures in magazines, papers etc and bring in a picture of some thing that your child has recognised the shape of, for example, car tyres-circle, houses- square, boxes-rectangles, sliced bread-square. Or take a photo of something your child has seen and bring that in.


Jigsaw


 This week we will be talking about kind hands and kind words. Remembering how important these things are when playing with friends. We will be making our own poster using our handprint for this.


Sounds and letters


This week we will be giving others a set of clues to guess an animal along with using our voice to make slow/fast quiet/loud and long/short sounds.


Books this week
