Spring 1
Maths Focus - The children are beginning to recognise that anything can be counted. The children are more confident with verbally counting, and are starting to count sounds. They rolled a dice and counted the spots then chose a musical instruments to create that many beats on the drum or taps on the tambourine. Some children can confidently subitise, and all are attempting to copy fingers to represent the correct amount on the dice. This is an opportunity to begin to order number names.
Communication, Language Development - Social Development are our prime areas of learning in Early Years . This week the children were engaged in their learning playing alongside each other sharing resources and taking turns.
Physical Development and Personal,Social and Emotional Development - The children thoroughly enjoyed the parachute games, listening attentively and working as a team.
Wow what a great PE session whereby all children listened to the instructions and engaged actively in the learning. They were aware of their peers as they moved around the space, they could change their pace of movements, change direction and move in different ways. They are beginning to understand the importance of warming up and stretching.
The Celebration of the Epiphany was magical the children enjoyed dressing up as “ The wise Men” and the main star. We shared prayers and hymns linked to the “ Wise Men”
Circle time to introduce our new topic “ Who lives in the deep dark woods?” the children shared their ideas and I wrote them down. Some children are able to recognise their initial sounds from their names in the words I wrote on the board. The children then expressed their thoughts and ideas in picture form.
Understanding the world - the children were so excited that it had snowed - so we bought the snow inside for the children to explore using their senses.
