This week the children's learning activities will be based upon the themes of Diwali and Bonfire Night.
Diwali is the Hindu 'festival of lights'. On Monday the children listened to the story of Rama and Sita (which can be found on the CBeebies website) and began to learn about how Diwali is celebrated.
We painted Mendhi patterns onto a hand template using a fine brush.
We made Diva Lamps using play dough and colourful jewels.
On Wednesday we watched on YouTube a fantastic firework display and thought of words to describe what we could see and hear.
We used our imaginations to make glueless firework pictures using a variety of materials.
We drew firework patterns on the interactive whiteboard.
We enjoyed mixing colours together using the colour paddles and torches.
Red and blue makes purple.
At our "Funky Fingers" table we followed patterns using stickers. We showed great perseverance when completing this activity.
On Thursday we all played percussion instruments at carpet time. We learnt how to play the percussion instruments and then looked at the conductor cards to know when to start and stop playing.
Our number focus this week: - This weeks focus is the number 3.
The children will also put into practise the 'careful counting' skills they have been learning to count groups of objects accurately.
Sorting numbers 1, 2 and 3.
Forming numbers 1,2 and 3.
Forest School Friday! Please do not forget this Friday your child will attend Forest School. Please make sure your child is dressed in old warm clothing. They will also need a warm, waterproof coat and welly boots. We will provide the children with waterproof trousers.
