01.11.21 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a lovely half term. 

This week in school sees the start of the new dinner menu. We are starting on Week 1 and the new menu can be found here.

This half term we will be working on our new project "Once Upon A Time". I have uploaded an overview sheet for this project to the Early Years section on the school website. It can be found here. 

So on to our learning for the coming week, we will be starting our project with the traditional tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".

We will be:

• Reading different versions of the Goldilocks story.
• Creating some puppets of Goldilocks and the Bears to help us retell the story in our own words.
• Comparing objects by their size in our Mathematics sessions and deciding which character they are for.
• Continuing our Phonics sessions and learning our first 2 tricky words.
• Creating some fabulous firework pictures using different media in our new creative area.
• Bringing home our first reading books. These books will be changed on a weekly basis and it would be really helpful if the children could bring them in to school every day.

Home learning ideas:

To tie in with our work in class, you may like to try some of these ideas at home, it would be lovely to see what you chose to do, please feel free to email any photos etc to earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.

1. Make some porridge playdough, the recipe can be found here.
2. Compare objects by their size - who has the biggest hands in your family? Who has the smallest feet? Who is the tallest? Who is the shortest?
3. Share the story at home, a version of it can be found here.

See you in the morning!
