We have enjoyed reading the story of Hansel and Gretel. We went into the woods for a special story time.
We have been thinking about people who are special to us and have talked about why they are special to us.
We have been busy creating gifts for some of the special people in our lives.
We have been busy in our Reception classes building, creating and making:
We have been looking at the changes in our outdoor area. We noticed that the leaves have changed colour and have been falling from the trees. We have also enjoyed working collaboratively to paint pictures using autumn colours.
We have been representing and making 4 in different ways. We have had great fun making paper people….can you count how many people there are in the set?
We have talked about the qualities of a good friend. We need to be kind, listen, take turns, share and look after each other if we are to be a good friend. We designed some posters:
We have also been kind to our environment. We have been working hard together to tidy up our garden area, especially now all of the leaves are blowing off of the trees:
HoWLs:
At the end of the week we had a fabulous poster designed in the mark making area. This poster now sits proudly on display in the classroom to remind us all of the HoWLs in Class 1:
In EYFS today we have been learning about Remembrance Day, we have been thinking about the brave soldiers who protect our country to keep us all safe. We have printed poppies, made edible poppy biscuits and delivered them as a random act of kindness to all of the grown ups in school who help keep us safe everyday. We also surprised the staff at the Junior School with a biscuit too! We have coloured poppies, drawn our own poppies and even attempted to write the sounds we hear in words.
What a busy week we have had in Class 1. We loved the Halloween disco, and dressed in our most spooky outfits! We have enjoyed building and creating and have been learning all about triangles. We have been lost in books and have spent lots of time sorting, matching and counting in our maths area. We wonder what next week will bring…
We looked at the large tree in our garden area. We noticed that the leaves are still green and are all still on the tree. We wonder what it will look like when we come back to school after the half term break?
We are going to sketch our work next…..we look forward to seeing what they look like when they are complete.
