Week 3
This week we have continued to think about our family community. The children have talked about their families and who is special to them. We have also been painting members of our families and using stones to create family pictures.
We also invited our mums, dads, grans and grandads to come and join us for a Mouse Club stay and play lunch. The children were able to show their grown up just how independent they are becoming in just 3 weeks. The children loved making a bed for their mouse 🐭 and making and eating a cheese mouse.
We have also enjoyed singing lots of number songs that count backwards from 5. Our favourite was 5 little men in a flying saucer because we were able to use the alien masks!
In Peace at Last we have been talking about the bear's house and what rooms Daddy bear goes to when he can't sleep. We then drew the house and had a go at writing some of the room names.
At forest school this week we started with our active maths lesson going on an item hunt. The children were asked to collect a different number of objects, sizes, shapes and textures. Then they were all given a ball of clay to make a member of their family using natural materials such as sticks, leaves and conkers. The children were very focused and worked so hard to make their family member. They proudly showed their teacher afterwards.
Another first this week was Dough Disco! We all had our own pot of play dough which we used in a superhero themed dough disco. We squashed, rolled, pinched and used our fingers as scissors which really worked our hand muscles hard.
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
Mrs Higgs and Mrs Girling
