Autumn 18
Harvest Festival
As part of our harvest festival celebrations this week we have made some vegetable soup using harvest vegetables. We had great fun chopping, mixing and blending the ingredients together. Once the soup was cooked we all had a taste, it was delicious!
Traditional Tales
This term we have focused on Traditional Tales, we have been reading The Gingerbread Man and The Three Little Pigs. In literacy we have enjoyed retelling the stories in the small world area, role play areas and outdoors. In maths we have been counting the pigs into their houses and counting buttons onto the gingerbread men, focussing on 1-1 counting saying one number name for each object.
Making Gingerbread Men
Following on from reading The Gingerbread Man story we decided to make our own gingerbread men. We had great fun weighing, mixing and cutting the ingredients. Whilst the gingerbread men were cooking we kept an eye on the oven to make sure that none of them tried to escape! When the gingerbread men had cooked and cooled we decorated them. We took our gingerbread men home to eat and the following day we told Miss Smith and Mrs Johnson that we had to chase our gingerbread men around the yard before we got a chance to eat them- just like in the story.
Gymnastics
This term in P.E. we have been developing our gymnastics skills. This has developed our confidence in completing basic moves such as throwing, jumping, walking and skipping. We are always very proud of the new skills we have learnt and love showing them off to our friends at the end of the session.
First Days in Reception
The children have settled into Reception really well. They have enjoyed exploring their new environment: painting, drawing, writing, building, being creative, reading and playing with their friends.
