Week 1

What an amazing first week, they children should feel very proud of themselves.

We spent some time learning the names of all our new friends. We explored the classroom, learning about the different areas and created our classroom rules.

We took part in some Dough Disco and tried our hand at some pre-writing shapes.

We even stayed for our first school lunches.

Week 2

An another amazing week of firsts for the children.

This week we started our journey to learning to read with our first Phonic lessons. We learnt the sounds:-

m  a  s  d  t

We began our journey to becoming Mathematicians by looking at the quantities 1 and 2. We matched the quantity to the correct numeral, we collected the correct amount ensuring we stopped at the correct number. We looked at the relationship between them and we found we could subitise them easily.

We also started to understand stories with our first Drawing Club lessons. We used the book "My Play Can Be....." by Stephanie Seidler and Anastasia Sikilinda. We explored the vocabulary:-

dainty, courage, gleaming, play, dart, adventure

We then drew the main character, ourselves, and a setting for our play.

In our first PE lesson we played Simon Says and Follow the Leader for our warm up. We then used some simple equipment to practice our balancing, our jumping and landing, and some simple ways to move across the floor.
