Wow we are half way through the term! How did that happen?!
This week the children have been enjoying more soft start activities. It has been great watching the P1s have a go and be inspired by the p2 phonics activities. I have also enjoyed watching the children lead their learning. Some made vehicles out of construction and then wanted to investigate floating and sinking in the water tray!
The p1s learned p and n this week and enjoyed a range of activities to consolidate their learning. The p2s were focussing on sh and capital letters.
Our Julia Donaldson book for the week was ‘The Gruffalo’. We watched an animated version of the story as well as listening to the book. The story got us thinking about our feelings such as scared, worried, nervous and sad and who can help us when we feel like this. We enjoyed lots of songs about emotions and did some role play. We also made ‘worry stones’ to help us when we feel worried or scared. We decided the most important thing was to make sure we didn ‘t keep our feelings bottled up! The children have decided they would like to do an emotional check in in the mornings now so we can discuss feelings regularly! 👏
To top off an amazing week we managed to fill the recognition board. The children tried hard to work quietly while I was with a group. They were all brilliant and we enjoyed a celebratory song when the board was full! Well done everyone! 🌟
Remember Monday and Tuesday are Inservice days so see you all on Wednesday. Please note the lunch choice on Wednesday will be MONDAY! Have a wonderful long weekend.
