Welcome to our Week 3 blog where we share some highlights of what we have been learning over the last 5 days. We have started our Jolly Phonics programme looking at the first two sounds 's' and 'a'.
We have also been practicing our handwriting and building fine motor skills through various writing activities including the 'Make A List" activity and making our names out of play dough.
On Tuesday we had our first sports lesson run by the No Child Left Inside programme. As you can see we were practicing our throwing skills.
When Sam was teaching us we started work on our self portraits. We practiced on whiteboards to begin with before drawing outlines on paper ready for painting next week.
We were all very proud of our team effort at completing both parts pf the giant 123, ABC puzzle during reading rotation time.
After the vast amount of rain we had earlier in the week we decided to go and take a look at the river next to school. It was very muddy, very full and very loud. We were amazed to see that the ford was completely under water.
On the way back to class we practiced our puddle jumping skills!
This week we have started having milk. Some friends from our buddy class came along to show us how to fold our milk cartons so they can be recycled into roof tiles to be used in Asia.
An impromptu fashion show during discovery showcased our creativity......
