Fireworks colours and sounds

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Last week we read the story of Pumpkin soup By Helen Copper followed by the story Delicious. The children really enjoyed listening to this story. Following on from this we made pumpkin soup. The children helped prepare all the vegetables by using knives to cut up the vegetables. We also explored pumpkins by opening them up and using different tools e.g. tweezers, spoons etc. We looked at the different textures. Outside in the water tray we explored what happened to pumpkin seeds and pumpkins in water. Also we did some pumpkin rolling down the hills which was great fun. We made our Christmas cards for the printers and these will be coming home for preview and an order form soon. We have really enjoyed using the computers this week and in particular Purple Mash designing on our pumpkins. 

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. On Purple Mash we will be creating a firework picture and recalling what we saw this weekend. 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

This week we will be doing some activities involving recognising our name. Over the week it would be fantastic if your child could find advertising logos they recognise in their environment. For example the Lidi sign or the McDonald sign. You may like to take a photo of it, drew it or cut out a picture.
