Our Learning this Week 10th October 2014

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

We read the story of “Elmer” the elephant and talked about our favourite part of the story.

We also used cuddly elephants and also masks to try and retell the story in our own way.

We had to match two halves of an egg shape by finding pairs of Numicon shapes. We were trying to recognise the Numicon shapes by looking at the colour and size of each one.
We practised recognising which number different Numicon shapes represented by playing a circle game.

On Welly Wednesday we collected autumn items to put into our new cauldrons. The children wrote a list of what we found before stirring it all up and singing Autumn songs.

This week’s cooking was making a healthy egg salad.

We have been practising waiting and taking turns when playing a pass the tambourine game. This will help us be more patient when we are waiting for or turn when we are playing.

We used lots of different coloured squares to make our own patterned Elmer’s. They were very pretty and colourful.

We also printed with cubes on a large outline of Elmer.

On Move-It Monday we practised listening to welsh commands as a warm up – sefyll (Stand) and Eisteddwch (Sit down). We then did Write Dance in the hall to Kringeli Krangeli, making lots of curly movements with our hands.

Due to the stormy weather this week, we learned a new phrase for our Welsh board, “Mae hi’n stomus”

Some of us are remembering to ask for our fruit in Welsh too, saying “Ga i…” Bendigedig!!

Thanks

Have a great weekend
