We love writing!

The children have loved writing this week and have been choosing to do it in their ‘free flow’ time.  I think the book about Princess and poo inspired them!! We are doing so well with our shapes and we have been sorting them into 2D and 3D shapes, remembering their properties and learning new names.

Shapes and art

Wow, the children have just blown me away this week! We have been concentrating on shape and the children have been fantastic at asking questions to find the properties of 2D shapes.  We have also incorporated it with art by Paul Klee and the children have had a go at creating their own Paul Klee inspired pictures.

We've also been talking about anti-bullying which has sparked lots of conversations about feelings.

Bonfire Night!

Our focus this week has been fireworks and feelings.  We read a story called ‘Spark’s in the sky’ which looked at both.  We’ve also joined in with a whole school firework themed carousel.  We did lots of art, some food preparation and dance and music with our friends in Orange and Green class.

Pumpkins and Autumnal Treasures!

Red Class are just loving Autumn.  They love the colours, the falling leaves, finding things that have fallen from the trees and most of all pumpkins!!

So we have learnt a pumpkin song, explored the texture of pumpkins in the messy tray, explored shapes and made pumpkin faces with them and used potatoes shaped as pumpkins to make stamped pumpkin crowns.
