We made sandwiches for the Welcome Home party for the Lonely Beast. we wrote labels and instructions  to explain what we did.

We have been counting and ordering numbers this week, including counting snowballs for the penguins and sorting the number snowmen! Great fun!

We have enjoyed looking at different polar animals and making ice platforms for them in the water. We had some frozen penguins that were trapped in the ice and we had to help them to escape by melting it. We found our warm hands and breath worked well!

We have also loved our icy ‘igloo’ where we can look at wintery books, play with the polar animals and play matching games under the snowflakes.

We have enjoyed listening to stories this week and sharing them with our friends. We particularly enjoy the

Gruffalo and have different books and games related to the story. We have used the small world characters from the story to match to pictures and begin to help with retelling the story.

After our Read Writ Inc lessons we like to apply our phonics in a selection of different ways – what fun we have!

The children have enjoyed decorating our tree each day and listening to some of the Nativity songs, especially Little Donkey. We have use the Knitivity characters to help act out the story. We have had fun in our own stable, looking after baby Jesus.

We had fun today decorating Pudsey Bear with paint finger blobs- a super sensory experience!

We have looked at some poppies this week and then painted our own. We listened to some music and had some “quiet” time to reflect in our own way.

We are exploring our sensory differences and looking at the Colour Monsters to help to begin to identify and recognise our moods and feelings.
