Colour Monster
We read the stories The Colour Monster and The Colour Monster Goes to School. We learnt all about our feelings and the Zones of Regulation. We painted our own colour monsters and discussed how the monsters were feeling as we added their facial expressions.
Self Portraits
Look at our amazing self portraits!
Outdoor Learning
Outdoor play. We have had a great time learning in the outdoor environment. Have a look at what we have been getting up to.
Pumpkin Week
In Pumpkin Week we enjoyed taking part in lots of pumpkin activities including; ordering pumpkins, sorting pumpkins, observational drawing of pumpkins, eating pumpkins and investigating pumpkins. We loved cutting the pumpkins open and exploring the insides. We described what we could see feel and smell.
Pumpkin Soup
During Pumpkin week we read the story Pumpkin Soup and decided to make our own pumpkin soup. We cut up potatoes, onions, carrots and of course, pumpkins. Then we added some stock cubes, salt and pepper. We cooked it for 30 minutes and waited for it to cool before we ate it. It was delicious!!
Celebrating Diwali November 2024
We explored the celebration of Diwali. We learnt all about the story of Rama and Sita and how the people lit candles in Diva lamps to light their way home. We made our own Diva lamps using clay. We had to wait for a few days for the clay to dry and then we could paint them. We added lots of glitter to some glue and decorated our Diva lamps. We think they look great!
Remembrance Day November 2024
We celebrated Remembrance Day and learnt all about the soldiers who sadly died at war. We learnt about the symbolism of Poppies and why they are important. We made our own poppy placement pictures, made poppies using the cubes and Playdough and even made our own poppy biscuits using red icing and chocolate buttons. They were yummy!
Children in Need
For Children in Need we were able to come to school in non-uniform in exchange of a money donation. We had a class catwalk to strut or stuff and show our outfits. There were lots of spots and Pudsey ears!
A Snowy Day
What a surprise it was to wake up to snow on Tuesday morning!
We wrapped up warm and went out to explore the snow. We made snowballs, touched the snow, thought about what made it melt, caught it on our tongues and even practiced writing our names in it. We had lots of fun!
