Hi everyone.

This week we have done lots of exciting things. at the end of last week, Anika had a wonderful idea; she and some of the other children had been collecting leaves outside, and she wanted to put paint and glitter on them. So we pressed the leaves over the weekend, and used them to made autumnal tree pictures. After they had dried we put paint and white glitter on them, they look sensational! We also made water colour sunset scenes, which are equally fabulous.

In cookery we made some carrot and coriander soup, where the children saw how to peel carrots before chopping them, the potato, and the coriander; and then helped to blend it down with the once it had boiled. It seemed to be a great hit and several of the class asked for second helpings.

We have used mini wispas to look at the concept of more in maths, which worked out as a great motivator! The children have also been working  on their numeral recognition, counting out sets of objects and 1:1 correspondence. In English we have done some guided reading, worked on writing our names, initial sound recognition and sight word recognition. We have also worked hard on our fine motor skills. the class all concentrated really well with all of the activities including: cutting, lego, threading with superhero characters, copying seashell patterns and more!

Have a good weekend everyone!
