Nursery - Art And Design - Creating Eric Carle Inspired Animals
In Nursery class this week our story of interest has been 'Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?'. The children enjoyed exploring the different colors and animals featured in the story during our craft activity. They were tasked with using our story props to support their understanding of colour. All of the children were encouraged to vocalise the colour names, some children were able to identify the colors they could see and correctly find the colored tissue paper they would need for their chosen animal. They then created animal art work in the style of the author Eric Carle. The children produced some brilliant pieces of work, well done everyone!
Pre-School-UTW-Science- Exploring Seasons
The children had so much fun exploring the snow. Experiencing what Winter is all about, snow, icicles and snowflakes. We went on a hunt to find all these objects and why we know it is Winter. The children talked about wearing warm clothes, hats, scarves and gloves to play out in and shorts are for summer time. We noticed that there are no leaves on the trees and that not many animals were around because they are hibernating this season.
Pre-School- PSHE-Keeping Us Safe
In our lesson today we discussed people who keep us safe and how they can help us. We looked at a few pictures of people in different roles, including parents, police officers, fire fighters, doctor/ nurses and teachers. We talked about how they can help us and keep us safe. We role played different roles, being a police officer helping someone if they got lost, a doctor and using the plasters and bandages to make you better. The children then used this knowledge to draw a person and list what they can do to help us.
Reception - Science - Exploring the Snow
Reception Class had a great time exploring the snow and ice. We added paint to the snow and made marks, we moved some of the equipment to see different shapes, we poured water over the snow and the ice and we used different methods to try and break the ice. We then had to throw snowballs at different numbers/graphemes and tricky words that were written in chalk.
EYFS- PSHE-Christmas Magic Show
We had a magical day for all the children in EYFS experiencing a Christmas Magic Show. We watched magic tricks, a puppet show and the children enjoyed joining in with all the different acts. We danced to music and then a special visitor arrived.....' SANTA'.
Pre-School- PSHE-Taking Turns and Sharing
We have been developing our taking turns and sharing skills this week. We have played a pairs game and needed to match the animals. The children had to wait their turn and watch what was happening when the other player took their turn. Children struggled at first to wait their turn and how to play the game but with some guidance we had lots of fun.
Pre-School-PD-Christmas Dough
The children have enjoyed taking part in our Christmas dough disco. Moving arms up in the air and low to the ground and all around. We splat, pinched and moulded our dough to make reindeers, snowmen and Christmas puddings. The children have developed their skills over the term and are building their muscles in their arms and fingers.
Nursery - Maths - Making Reindeer Dust
On our malleable table this week, Nursery class have been making reindeer dust. The children have used spoons, cups, jugs, bowls and various other objects to scoop the ingredients and create their reindeer dust. The children were challenged to use their listening skills and follow an instruction such as, 'one cup of oats' and 'a sprinkle of glitter'. We counted out the scoops as the children added more and encouraged the children to count along and repeat key words 'more' 'empty' and 'full'. Once everything was measured and mixed the children filled up little bags to take home for Santa's reindeer on Christmas eve.
Reception - Worship - Ideas For A School Prayer Space
Today, Reception Class brainstormed ideas for a new Prayer Space that will be in the entrance of the School. First of all we thought about all the things that the children like about the worship area in our classroom and then considered what else would be good, such as cushions and sand!
Reception - Courageous Advocacy - How Can We Solve The Problem of Litter In our Community?
Today Reception Class reflected on why people leave litter around in our community and how that makes us feel. We then thought about ways we can all make our place a better place to live by the actions we take.
