❄️ Exploring a Frosty Morning ❄️
This morning the children were showing a strong interest in the frosty morning. We discussed what we could see and feel this morning as a group and we then recapped previously taught knowledge of Autumn.
We talked about Autumn having lots of different weather types over the month.
We then…
We Are All Different!
This week we have been learning all about babies. The children have brought in pictures of when they were babies and have loved looking at themselves, sharing these with their friends and discussing what they see.
We started with a very Important question ‘Are we all the same?’
We talked…
Junk Modelling Buildings!
We have been junk modelling different buildings. We took inspiration from the temples visited by Hindu's as part of their Diwali celebrations.
We looked at the different shapes, colours and sizes. The children then looked at all of the available resources and independently chose what they…
Sorting Objects by Size
The children have been great at identifying and using the vocabulary 'big and small'. We looked at a range of objects from the environment and sorted them into groups in pairs. We told our friends why we thought one was big and one was small.

We used the tweezers to pick up different…
Children in Need
Today we celebrated Children in Need. We discussed why we are celebrating and how different people celebrate.
The children loved coming to school in yellow, spotty clothes! We loved creating masks, cutting, tracing and taking part in Pudsey activities!
Quantity to Number
We recognised all of the numbers 0-3! We then used the leaves to represent the value of the number.
Great work Ducklings!
Ordering Numbers
The children have been working very hard to explore numbers 0-3 in depth. We have recited, counted, subitised and now we are ordering the numbers. The children began by reciting numbers in sequence and then we worked together to order them correctly.
Autumn walk
We have been learning all about the signs of Autumn. We then used our senses to go on an Autumn walk and describe what we see, feel and hear. The children loved exploring the school grounds! We collected leaves, sticks and brought them back to explore in the classroom.
We were very lucky to…
Phonics - Body Percussion
We have been exploring different ways to make sounds with our bodies! We cam up with tapping, stomping, clapping, patting and much more!
We have loved making the sounds together and exploring loud, quiet, fast and slow.
We then used a steady beat to create movement to the music, we used…
