This week in the classroom...
Friday 12th September
In literacy, the children have enjoyed listening to Happy to Be Me. We have been talking about our bodies, pointing to different parts as they appear in the story, and making our own silly faces. We even had lots of giggles when listening to funny sounds and joined in with “If You’re Happy and You Know It”.
In phonics and rhyme time, the children have had fun with songs such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Once I Caught a Fish Alive, A Sailor Went to Sea and Baa Baa Black Sheep. We have been listening carefully to different sounds, clapping syllables in words, and playing games with silly rhymes.
In maths, we have been exploring colours. Each day we focused on a different one—red, blue, yellow, green and purple. The children enjoyed going on colour hunts around the classroom and sorting objects into groups, as well as spotting the “odd one out.
The children also had lots of fun mixing watercolours, creating self-portraits, and making rain music with shakers and drums.
It’s been a wonderful week of songs, stories, and exploring together!
