Oliver's Vegetables

Our story this week is Oliver's Vegetables written by Vivian French & illustrated by Alison Bartlett. It is linked to Harvest that we are excited for making soup.

We are learning about washing our hands before we prepare food. The preparations have begun for Harvest soup...

In Maths we have been exploring the vegetables we brought in for harvest soup and we are weighing them and making predictions about heaviest and lightest. We have also been talking about grouping them and counting how many of each vegetable we have collected.

This week we read this story and enjoyed imaginative play using the characters from the story.

We also sequenced pictures to demonstrate an understanding of what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story. We also drew our own pictures of the story and used props to retell events.

We went on an Autumn trail on the school grounds to look at the signs of the season and to look at the changes we see occuring.

Autumn crafts from our walk

We like making Autumn pictures using paint and other materials. These are for our season display in class.

In maths this week we have been exploring Numicon shapes by counting them and matching them to numbers.

We enjoyed our first week of starting school and as part of wellbeing week we shared the story. Meesha makes friends.

Meesha Makes Friends: A Feelings Book written by Tom Percival

Meesha loves making things, but there's one thing she finds difficult to make - friends. She doesn't know quite what to do, what to say or when to say it.

We had a circle time to talk about how we can make friends by listening to each other and playing together. We talked about people who are special to us and what makes us unique.

We made self portraits and talked about our hair colour, eye colour using a mirror to look at our features. We used a range of media including paint and pastels.

We are learning to make friends in class by playing games.

The Daily Mile

We like participating in the daily mile every day! We can run, jog and walk around the track. Its helps us to keep fit and improves our minds when learning.
