All About Me!
Five Senses
Apologies for not having the blog last week, I was participating in The Long Walk, raising funds for Breast Cancer, Children in Need and also for the people affected by the recent fires. we walked 85km from Moya- Cruz de Tejeda- Pico de Las Nieves-Santa Lucia de Tirajana- Tunte-Ayagaures and finally to Riu Palace in Playa Del Ingles. It was a great experience for me and walked with a great and supportive team. It was lovely to be met at Parque Sur by Nayra, her little brother and mummy!
The children have continued being very busy in class and following our topic of All About Me. We looked at ourselves, then printed our hands and feet and free painted our faces, with remarkable detail! I hope you all have a chance to look at them where they are displayed in the hall.
Painting our faces
Then we started on our hands...
and our feet, it was really tickly!
To promote self help skills the children all managed to put on their own socks and shoes! Some with a little help
We looked at our families and who was in them and sorted socks into pairs, counting 2 objects and realising anything can be counted
Then, just to keep us busy, this week we started on our 5 senses!
We made 'earphones' to go on our listening walk for our sense of hearing
Then we looked at our sense of touch...we had a sensory walkway, some things were soft, crunchy, hard, cold and wet!
Next week we will be concentrating on our Diwali celebrations. We have each made a Diya for the display and will also be having a clay Diya to bring home, we have been looking at how children celebrate Diwali and trying some of the dances.
Important reminders: We are still waiting for the baby photos of your child as part of this topic, could you please bring these to school as soon as possible?
Next week school will only be open Monday to Wednesday, (we have a holiday on Thursday and staff inset on Friday)
Have a great weekend and we will see you all on Monday!
Miss Jackie
