Blog 9 - 18th Nov

 As part of our Anti-Bullying week work, we read Mr Big and discovered that we must do all that we can to help others feel special and valued.  To show this in action everyone in our class made a friendship bracelet to give to a friend.  We told that friend exactly what makes them special.  The children loved doing this and we were so proud of their kindness and thoughtfulness. 

In our outside play, and linked to our Anti-Bullying week work, we created parties for our friends. The children worked together in the mud kitchen to make pies, soups, milkshakes and lots of other treats that could be shared together with friends. Linking to our story this week 'sharing a Shell,' our mathematical learning has been to subtizing to 5 and then to count out objects to five, to match with the corresponding number. Take a look at the pictures below! The children really loved using the giant tweezers to grip the smaller shells and drop them into the super huge shells.

 

As the weather has turned much colder this week we like it if the children zip / button their coats up before going outside to play. Lots of children struggle with doing their own coat up so please this weekend can you allow your child to practise doing  their own coat up!

 

We have had a wonderful day celebrating Children In Need - the children looked fabulous in their pj gear!  We've had great fun painting and decorating Pudsey Bear! We had a brilliant time playing 'bear pong!'

 

Don't forget that we're really keen to see all of your children's home learning contributions. You can either send a little video to us or let us know that your child wants to perform their favourite simple nursery rhyme or song to us. 

 

Best wishes,
