Ourselves, senses and hearing.

This last week we have been continuing our topic of listening and our senses. We have been playing lots of games such as Simon Says, discussing tiredness, eating routines and developing our writing skills. On Monday we saw what Ted had been up to over the weekend; busy making playdough with his Mum for our charity event!
The children are now capable at writing lists and making labels, no small task at this stage in the year, I hope they spend some time on their homework doing the same.
Some of the children are beginning to show signs of possible schema's, does your child have any? 

Ploy and several other children are very interested in rotary movement. 

This week we had the pleasure of Lewis's Mum visiting us. She read us a story about a giant turnip, does your child know what happened in that story? Which characters were in it?

Throughout the story, Lewis's Mum was keeping a keen eye on the children, asking them questions as she went, this is a great way to recap throughout the story: checking for understanding...the children also got a gift as well, which was very kind. 

During the beginning of this week, E'to's Mum kindly came in and read us a wonderful story about looking after yourself, and how to keep clean. 

Lewis was investigating how far he could climb, pulling himself up with his hands, holding on with his feet. 

Tuning into our sounds and /r/ip(ing) the paper.

Beginning to learn about time. The children have also been seeing what they can do in one minute. 

We have been having a wonderful week and the children have achieved so much. We are looking forward to Friday's Charity Event. Please do send in any old unused toys and some home made playdough. 

I hope you enjoy your well earned break, and we'll look forward to seeing you all after the holidays. 

Kind regards, 

Douglas and RP
