Colours

Colours, Colours Everywhere!

We have started our new topic on Colours, the children have been doing lots of activities to reinforce their knowledge of the colour and colour names in English.
We have been reading the book Brown Bear Brown Bear and they are already repeating the familiar refrains and anticipating the next animal....and colour before we turn the page. It's becoming quite a competition on carpet time.
This week we looked at Red, Yellow and Blue with our Red Bird, Blue Horse and Yellow Duck collages. 
We have been using the tablet this week to reinforce our numbers and everyone is trying so hard and are very proud when they can name the correct numbers.
We have also been using the child scissors to cut magazines, helping to reinforce the muscles in our hands to help get ready for writing and mark making in class.






We have been learning how to form the numbers correctly, using our fingers on the tablet.

We have also been learning about the importance of friends, helping each other, sharing and being kind to each other.


We love creative activities and different ways of mark making.


Then we had Yoga for P.E. and they did so well!





And fun times in our mud kitchen!




Next week we will be continuing with our topic on Colour and with our Brown Bear Book.
For Phonics we will be doing our Phonic Songs and Phase one sounds.
Maths, we will be continuing with our number recognition and learning that we can count objects to match the numeral.
We will be looking at colours green, purple, and orange, making our collage animals and finding objects in the class to match the colour.

You may have noticed we have been moving classrooms recently, we are now in the 'old' Nursery Creative room and will be staying there. The other room across the hall will still be used for Music and Movement, P.E, siesta and also for one-one support for the children among other things.
We will now have free access to the outside classroom and also to the bathrooms to encourage independence for the children. I apologise for all the upheaval in the past few weeks!

I hope you all have a great weekend,
Miss Jackie
