This week we have enjoyed going on an Autumn walk, exploring our Ladybird Garden to find different coloured leaves. We also enjoyed joining with Key Stage 1 on Friday for some of our playtime. It was lovely to spend some time with other children in school. We are going to continue this on a daily basis from next week.
You may have seen the box outside the gate at drop off and pick up times. This is for our Harvest Festival collection. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. We have been singing the Harvest Festival Samba during snack times this week. A link to the Harvest Blog can be found here, there is a link to the song at the bottom of the blog - enjoy!
This coming week is the start of the new times for Pearl Class. The children are now starting at 8.55am and finishing at 2.50pm. The information regarding these changes can be found here.
On to our learning for this coming week, we will be:
- Sharing the story "Pumpkin Soup" about the Cat, the Duck and the Squirrel and talking about how they behaved towards each other in the story.
- Talking about pumpkins, using our different senses.
- Seeing how many seeds there are inside a pumpkin and counting them carefully.
- Learning another set of sounds in our Phonics sessions.
- Continuing and creating repeating patterns in our Mathematics sessions.
- Completing the writing planned for last week - we ran out of time!
- Bringing home our Christmas card designs on Thursday.
Don't forget Friday is an INSET day, so the children are not in school that day. This is the day of our parent/teacher consultations. I will be sending the link for the ZOOM meetings out on Wednesday. The children will then have their half term break and school returns on Monday 1st November.
As always, if you have any questions or are unsure about something then please do email me using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Wakefield
