Hello everyone,
We hope you have all had a fabulous weekend. We have had a great week sharing the story of the three little pigs at group time.
On Monday morning we used water colours to paint the 3 little pigs. We were really careful at painting within the lines.
On Tuesday we cooked some puff pastry pigs and used circles and triangles for this. We hope you all enjoyed eating them. In the afternoon we did a science experiment with sugar cubes. We built a house or tower out of sugar cubes and experimented what happened when you poured warm and cold water over the cubes. We learnt the word dissolve.
On Wednesday a small group had PE with Mr Treble and we used the apparatus to move along in different ways and we also learnt how to balance on different parts of our body. We also play the floor is lava game. Another group went to visit at the care home which we all really enjoyed.
On Thursday we used the headsets to act out the story of the three little pigs. We were great at acting and following the actions given. In the afternoon we visited the planterium and looked at all the stars, planets and even some dinosaurs. The children loved it.
On Friday we played the pig pants game with our friends which involved taking turns and recognising patterns and colours. In the afternoon we did some cupcake baking in preparation for our visit to the care home on Wednesday.
We have enjoyed constructing with the stickle bricks and the transparent shapes. In the number area we have been exploring the wooden people, small pots and numicon pieces. We have been matching the numerals on the people to the number of dots on the pots. We have also been putting the wooden people in the numicon holes and doing lots of counting. We have been solving problems using one more and one less and how to make different numbers using a combination of numicon pieces. We have enjoyed marking making in the mud using lollypop sticks and painting pictures. We have also enjoyed exploring the shaving foam (cement), wooden shaped blocks and spreaders. We have been using the cement to build wooden shape towers and houses. In the small world area we have been busy acting out the story of the three little pigs with the story props. The children are amazing with the repeated refrains of the story. We have loved bathing and caring for the dollies in the water tray this week. On our finger frenzy table this week we have been using the pipettes with watered down paint. We have explored mixing colours.
Throughout the week we have begun to learn the Read Write inc picture names in group time. We have learned Maisie next to the mountain, apple, snake, dinosaur and insect. We have also met Fred Frog. Fred Frog can only say sounds and no words. We have played the game of Fred frog says c o w, p i g etc. We have been doing lots of rhyming games and stories.
Some pictures from this week…..
This week we are going to continue to share the story of The three little pigs along with some alternative versions. We have some great activities planned including some science experiments, drama rhyming game and lots more.
Home learning
Can you tell a family member some words which rhyme?
Can you recall the story of the three little pigs at home?
Can you solve some everyday number problems e.g. I have got 4 forks and I need one more, how many would I have?
