The children are now settled really well into the daily routine and are now intrigued if there is a different picture on our timetable.

We have had another great week which has been full of learning through fun activities.

 

 

In Maths we have been teaching ‘Muddles the Monkey’ how to count. The children took great pleasure in correcting Muddles when he counted wrongly. We followed this with counting and representing numbers activities:

 

In Literacy we have read some more of our ‘Peace at Last’ book. We talked about the job of an author and looked at nocturnal animals. The children joined in repeated phrases from the book, constructed beds for animals, made salt dough hedgehogs amongst many other activities:

 

 

On Wednesday we celebrated Harvest in the class. We watched a video about Harvest and then went outside to harvest our own fruits and vegetables which we used for writing and printing. We sang Dingle Dangle Scarecrow and the children followed this by making scarecrows:

 

 

We had some new activities which we explored during Funky Fingers time:
