Diwali celebration!
We designed our own Mehndi patterns for the celebration of Diwali! We have listened to the story of Rama and Sita, created diya lamps and rangoli patterns. We have enjoyed learning about our friends celebrations at home too.
Beware of the Gruffalo!
We used natural materials to create a Gruffalo! He has knobbly knees and turned out toes! His eyes are orange and his tongue is black! We worked as a team to place the materials together to build the Gruffalo! We thought it would be a good idea to create a poster to warn people about the Gruffalo…

Pumpkin fun!

Harvest and fruit and vegetables!
Class one created a harvest themed tray using lots of materials and resources. They recreated the jobs that farmers do at harvest time. They also talk about fruit and vegetables, growing, planting and farm machinery! There was so much creativity and imagination happening during play! Well done…
Phonics fun
We have loved having a go at our phonics board game. We roll the dice and where we land, we read the word or sound. It’s lots of fun and gives us lots of chance to practice our sounds!
Conker hammering!
We have been using hammers and tweezers to remove conkers from their shells. What a super way to build out fine motor skills and arm strength!
Active phonics!
Today reception sounded and blended cc’d words and then found the matching picture. This was a great way to get some exercise and practice our blending skills!
