This week we have been learning more about keeping safe in the sun. Remembering to wear a sunhat, sunglasses, putting on sun cream and drinking lots of water!
It has been lovely to go outside and enjoy lots of activities in our outdoor classroom!
We thought about the season of Summer and discussed the changes that we had seen around our school from Autumn, Winter and Spring.
We exercised to Summer Time Chikka Boom and learned the songs ‘You are my sunshine’ and ‘The sun has got his Hat on’ and did some Makaton signs too! We also revisited Dr Ranj’s song ‘Fun in the Sun’ song.
We have been continuing with our daily Little Wandle phonics games. We have learned the new sound ‘qu’ and revisited some of the earlier sounds: s, a, t, p, b, e, r and f. The children are getting really good with their oral blending skills. We played ‘Football Phonics’ were we had to roll a ball to eachother and think of words beginning with the same sound. This game included the sounds s, d, m and t.
We went outdoors and did some ‘Active Maths’. We had to move in different ways and then find our number partner matching the correct numerals to the dots!
The children have also learned the names of 3D shapes and thought about their properties. They enjoyed exploring the wooden bricks, building some fantastic models! We then went on a 3D shape hunt around the classroom and outside.
