We have been reading 'The Smeds and The Smoos' in our lessons and using this book as inspiration for some of our learning about Space. We had a Smeds and Smoos day where we made and decorated Smed or Smoo headbands and made brown bread. We then had a Smeds and Smoos tea party where we ate our brown bread with green stew, pink milk and black tea!
We went on a very fun Winter Walk to see how the area had changed since Autumn. We found lots of big muddy puddles to jump in!
We have been having so much fun learning about Space! We made Space Passports for our Role Play area and aliens out of clay.
We had lots of fun learning the Christian story of Christmas. We made some decorations and hung them on our school Christmas tree. We practised our Nativity, sung some Christmas songs and during our Choosing Time we could play with the Christmas story dolls, decorate Christmas trees, cut and stick our own Nativity and write some Christmas cards.
We had lots of fun on Halloween, dressing up for the PTFA Fun Run and completing lots of fun activities in our classroom.
We had lots of fun this week thinking about our different senses and the parts of the body involved with these senses. We tried some different foods to test our sense of taste. We thought about the words we could use to describe the flavours, like sweet, sour, salty and savoury.
We had a lovely autumnal walk and collected lots of autumn treasure! We also practised our letter formation by writing some autumnal words.
