Space

What a busy week we have had!

We enjoyed reading Whatever Next! and using the role play area to imagine going into space. Some of us had a picnic on the moon but we had to be careful the food didn't float away!

We also enjoyed going down to the Forest School this week. We had great fun hunting for bugs and managed to find snails, slugs, millipedes, woodlice and spiders. We were very careful to put them back where we found them or we placed them in the bug hotel. We also collected lots of natural objects to make paintbrushes next week.

Next week we are continuing our Space theme, but also looking at Night and Day. We will be exploring shadows and hoping that the sun shines for us and sorting things that happen at night and things that happen during the day. Please talk to your child about their day and night time routines.

Our rhyme of the week next week is 'Wee Willie Winkie'.

Trains, Planes and Cars

This week we have been learning about trains, planes and cars. We read the Train Ride story and looked at the different places the train travelled through. In Maths we enjoyed sorting the vehicles based on the number of wheels they have. Some of us talked about different places we have been on holiday and how we got there.

We used instruments to tap a rhythm to 'In and Out the Dusty Bluebells'.

Next week we will be having a Space theme. We are going to read the story Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy and use our imaginations to go up into space. We will also be composing our own space music.

Please remember that Forest Schools is on Wednesday next week and the children will need wellies in school. If it is hot they should also bring in a sunhat.

We look forward to seeing those of you who have signed up to do work shadowing.

Our song of the week next week is 'Zoom Zoom Zoom (We're going to the Moon)'.
