This week in Meadows we have been looking at the story ‘What We’ll Build’ by Oliver Jeffers. This lovely story gave us the opportunity to talk about the different materials and tools we may use to build, as well as discussing including everyone in our plans.
The children have also enjoyed listening to the story ‘Peace at Last’ by Jill Murphy, where Miss Wilson and Mrs Campbell acted it out with props. The children were then able to retell the story themselves during playful learning, making the different sounds that could be heard in the house and the garden, including a drippy tap, a humming fridge and hedgehogs snuffling.
In our singing sessions, we introduced the song ‘Five Currant Buns’ and the children have loved acting this out as bakers and customers!
This week is road safety week. As a class we have talked about the importance of holding an adult’s hand when crossing the road, as well as looking at the different road signs and what they mean. We played a game where we needed to look and follow the road signs such as stop and go.
In small group times, we have been talking about friendship and how we can share using kind words with our friends, such as using ‘my turn, your turn’. We are continuing to share our talking boxes in group times for those children that have been the focus of that week. It has been lovely to hear about all the special things in our children’s lives, we can’t wait to hear more!
Next week we will continue our outdoor learning so please continue to ensure your child has waterproofs and wellies in school.
Have a lovely weekend!
