This week in the classroom...
Friday 19th September
This week the children continued enjoying Happy to Be Me, focusing on eyes, ears, head and arms. we played 'I Spy', and whispered messages to friends.
In phonics, we sang favourites like Baa Baa Black Sheep, Down at the Station and Hey Diddle Diddle, listening for rhymes and silly sounds.
In maths, we explored matching used objects such as buttons, shoes and block towers to help us find matching pairs and talking about the 'odd one out'.
We've also been exploring feeling though The Colour Monster, charades and friendship games.
Its been a lovely week full of matching, singing and exploring our feeling!
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!
