Language, Literacy & Communication
We have been experimenting with mark-making this week, using lots of different tools…crayons, felts, pencils, and pastels. Some children made different marks and other children decided to draw some happy faces.

Mathematical Development
We have been playing with some teddy bears that help us with our maths skills. We have been sorting the compare bears into colours and we have been counting teddies one by one onto a number line.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World We have been exploring oranges with our senses this week. Looking at the colour of them, feeling the skin, squeezing the juice out and then tasting the freshly made orange juice! Only two or three children didn’t like it and all the others loved how the fresh orange juice tasted. What a healthy treat!
|
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity We have been learning how important it is to look after the things in our classroom by helping each other put things away at tidy up time. Some children have been superstars at doing this. Ardderchog! |
| Creative Development
We used oranges to make some great printed pictures. We printed with half an orange and rolled a whole orange across the paper to create different effects. |
Physical Development
This week’s Move it Monday was parachute games. We practiced lifting the parachute up and down while singing “The Grand Old Duke of York” and we bounced a teddy up and down while singing “Round and Round the Garden like a Teddy Bear”.
