Autumn 1
This half term, we have been exploring our new classroom and learning about all the areas of provision we can access. Take a look at us having lots of fun on our new school adventure! We are very lucky as we have an indoor and outdoor classroom.
Week 3
Week 4
This week we started daily phase 2 phonics lessons and in UTW we explored body parts inside and out.
Week 5
This week, we discussed how we changed over time and looked at pictures of the class as babies. We continued to learn new phonemes in phonics and loved our music lesson.
Week 6
We made our own playdough with Mrs Danyadi in the kitchen. We then put it in our fine motor area to share with the class. We have been squeezing, pinching and rolling it this week, encouraging the strength and dexterity in our fingers.
Week 7
We have been exploring Diwali, the festival of light and how it is celebrated. We have created our own rangoli, tried to draw mehndi, made firework sticks outdoors, play dough diya lamps and even learnt some Diwali dance moves with Miss Priya. In RE, we explored the story of Rama and Sita and discussed different objects and decorations.
