Week two

Lots of physical development activities this week to strengthen our core as well as being great at helping us to regulate and practise sharing and turn taking too!

We have also begun to look for early signs of Autumn, making Autumn tree pictures, patterns with the felt leaves and exploring our Autumn treasures collected on our travels. Another super week!

 

 

Week one –

It has been wonderful to welcome back the children and see them recognising some familiar faces and exploring the environment.

We have been exploring our faces using mirrors, looking at our features and naming them. We have enjoyed making faces using the magnets and singing songs and rhymes about ourselves.

We have had fun in the home corner making breakfast for each other and taking turns to look after the baby!

 

Exploring Judaism

We are learning about Judaism in RE this term. We have looked at some Jewish artifacts and talked about what they are used for and why they are special to Jewish people. We especially liked the writing on the Torah Scroll. We thought about what we believe is important and decorated our own mezuzah.

Donaldson’s Den!

As we love all the stories by Julia Donaldson so much, in the Hive we have made a Donaldson’s Den with all different story retelling and matching activities. We have our fabulous story spoons and small world characters, some talking tins and speech bubbles and some character matching and word building activities. It has been great fun to explore!
