Our Learning this Week 12th September 2014

Ben and Betty have been teaching us the sound “a” this week.

We went on an “a” hunt outside and found pictures of acrobats, antelopes, alligators, and avocados.

We found the ants hiding in the sand and only kept the ants which had an “a” or an “A” on it.

We pretended we were astronauts getting ready to take off in a rocket…we counted down from 10 until we were ready to blast off!!!
We picked different shapes out of a box and tried to put them on the correct plate. Some of us knew the names of the shapes as well.

We talked about where different animals lived and sorted the play animals into the correct habitats. We enjoyed making the animal noises as we were doing this.

We didn’t do edible cooking this week but the children helped to make play dough for the classroom.

We have been talking about helping each other in the classroom, especially at tidy up time. We have also been discussing other things that make a happy nursery, such as sharing and being kind.

We printed with apples on big “a” shapes. We talked about different coloured apples and decided to use red and green paint.

We used sticks outside to make shapes and pictures. We made arrows, lines, houses, triangles and squares.

On Move it Monday we listened to songs in the hall that helped us move around like different animals. We skipped like lambs, galloped like horses, waddled like penguins and flapped like eagles.
We practised rolling the play dough with our hands by making 6 legs for the ant picture.

We are practising saying “Bore Da” (good morning) and “Prynhawn Da” (good afternoon) when the register is being taken. We have also been learning to say “Ga i…” (Can I have…) during snack time.

In preparation for learning the letter sound “b” next week, please can your child bring in a baby photo of themselves?

Don’t forget to return your data sheets and home-school agreement as soon as possible, Thanks

Have a great weekend
