Week 3
This week we have been learning more about parts of our body and what they can do. We listened to a story called 'Eyes, Nose, Fingers, Toes', where we counted fingers and toes, blinked our eyes and pointed to our backs and tummies.
We looked at pictures of eyes, noses, ears and mouths and chose some to stick on pictures of faces.
We all had fun foot printing with orange paint and creating green handprints, which are going to be cut out to create carrots for a display at the harvest festival in Ely cathedral. We have also explored cooked spaghetti and painting primary colours using large paint brushes during messy play sessions this week.
In maths we sang the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 counting song with fish and also explored shape and size with the toys in the environment.
Week 2
This week we have been learning to look during short group sessions like circle time, bucket and singing. We have watched lots of exciting objects that spin, make noises and hop during bucket time. We have listened to some songs about ourselves including head, shoulders, knees and toes and looked at x-ray pictures of bones. We also listened to the sensory story 'Funnybones'. We have experienced lots of different textures during messy play sessions every day including paint, shaving foam and gloop!
Week 1
We have had an amazing week settling all the children into their new class. We have loved exploring the new spaces, especially the sensory room. We have all been great at eating in our new classroom and the studio (lunch room) and also at moving into the different rooms for different activities. We have all had a smile when we have sung songs and played music. This half term our topic is "All about Me". We started this by thinking about "My new Class". We are Clover class so we have looked at photographs of meadows of clover, had a sensory story of the "Billy Goats Gruff" and did lots of sensory painting with green paint to create a picture of a class meadow.
