It has been a wonderful first week of Term 3! The children have come back refreshed and full of chatter about their holidays! Please have a look at what we've been up to...
Physical Development
This week, every child had the opportunity to use a bike or trike, the Supernova or the climbing frame in the big playground. In the splash pool, children used colanders to catch dinosaurs with Ms Precious on Monday and sang songs with me on Thursday.
Afternoon focus groups
Ms Precious supported the children to sequence events from 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' story whilst I focused on a Maths activity in which the children used prepositions such as on, under, behind, in front, between and next to to describe where we had placed our hats. This has been quite challenging for most of the children, so we will continue with it next week. Ms Clarissa shared the story 'Angry Arthur' and the children talked about their feelings and how to help themselves feel better when they are angry.
Library
In the library this week continuing with the dinosaur theme from last term, I shared a story called Dinosaur Galore! By Giles Andreae and David Wojtowyck. We focused on the children's favourite dinosaurs: T Rex, Anklyosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus and Brontosaurus. We will look at these dinosaurs in more depth next week using non fiction books.
Other actvities
The children have all had the opportunity to draw a dinosaur this week and even our most reluctant artists have loved it! We will be holding an F2 Exhibition in the coming weeks to share our children's lovely we
How you can help at home
