What a fantastic start to the new term we have had. The children have come in happy and have settled in quickly to our routines. 😊 The new topic for this half term is ‘Living and Growing’ and looking at ’Our Community’.
PSED – We talked about babies and toddlers and how we have changed. We were really lucky to have a zoom call with the lovely Miss Smith and her beautiful newborn Lilah.😊
Communication & Language – We prepared questions to ask in preparation for a visit from toddler.
Understanding of the World – We talked about similarities between things in the past and now, drawing on their experiences. We had a visit from Mrs Langley’s lovely toddler Addie.😊 This provided the children with an opportunity to compare the baby and toddler with themselves as a child.
Maths – We learnt about doubling and practised making doubles of numbers. We also looked at length and discussed which is tallest/shortest tower.
Expressive Art & Design – The children used mirrors and pencils to sketch a self portrait.
Literacy – To write about a baby, toddler and child can do. Children were encouraged to spell words using their phonic knowledge.
SMSC – To find out about the natural world. Children explored the outdoor area and made sun-catchers.
On Friday afternoon we had ’Stay and Play’. It was lovely to see so many parents come in. 😊
