We continue to explore Autumn linking it to the whole curriculum. In Art we studied different ways of making autumn trees and by making the most out of the outdoor space, we did a spot of paint splattering using autumn coloured paint. We will use the pieces as a background for our trees when we complete them next week.

In Science/Humanities we have started to think about different woodland animals and we began our learning by using the PowerPoint, “What am I?” We were delighted to be able to share this with our friends who are currently at home. Sophia and her parents joined us and Sophia came up with some great ideas as to what the animals might be. We are learning all about hedgehogs and began our learning by making a Hedgehog Hotel. We found out what materials we needed and then we placed it outside to hopefully be used by some friendly hedgehogs.

In Maths we have been using the natural materials we have collected to develop our counting skills and also to match amounts to numerals.

Finally, we are really getting to grips with Zoom and utilising it to connect with our children and parents at home. We have been “Zooming” our Circle times and also sharing what we are doing in class via Dojo. We want to praise our wonderful families for all the work they are doing at home and for sharing the work on Dojo.

We hope you have a good weekend
