Week ending Friday 15th November
Colour, pattern, light and dark have been themes throughout our provision this week as the children discovered how people across the world celebrate Diwali. All of the children participated in a Diwali workshop led by a dancer from a school theatre company as well as making diva lamps and rangoli and mendhi patterns. The children were very proud of their creations!
 
In maths, circles and triangles were the focus with the children using the vocabulary of straight, curved, sides and corners, whilst our topic work saw the children learning about different types of transport around the world. They even discovered that Miss Huntington has been on a tuk-tuk.
Week ending Friday 8th November 
After a well deserved rest last week, the children have returned to school refreshed and keen to learn! They have settled back into our routines and have coped well with tweaks to our timetable. We have welcomed Mrs Suswain into our Reception team and she has enjoyed getting to know the children.
 
Our topic this half term is Transport which we feel sure the children will enjoy. They have already been very keen to share their many ideas for ways to transport things, including 'web swings' like Spiderman!
 
Bonfire Night provided us with a sparkling opportunity to use our sounds when writing and in maths we have been learning about one more and one less.
