This week the theme in our classroom was Superheroes. Just like last week, the children loved dressing up in superhero outfits and saving the world! We did also read a lot of lovely books about how we can all be heroes in our own way - for example, by going out of our way to help our friends when they need us.
We have be done some wonderful learning this week - the children are showing me every day that they are become amazing learners.
Our learning this week
Phonics - this week we have learnt three sounds: t - down the tower, across the tower, i - down the insects body, for for his head and n - down nobby, over his net. Please practice these sounds in the little green books.
Maths - we have been helping Stanley the puppet this week with his counting skills.
RE - we have carried on talking about creation, and made the link that because God made Adam & Eve, he made us too.
Understanding the world - we have spoken about the different parts of our body this week. We also played Simon says.
Expressive Art & Design - the children have painted pumpkins this week.
P.E. - we are practicing our fundamental movement skills.
PSHE - we have spoken about what it looks like to be on the rainbow - as that’s where we all want to be each day. When we are on the rainbow we are making the right choice and we are happy.
Aside from all of the above, we have continued establishing the routines, rules and expectations of our classroom. We have also started dough disco each morning which will help to strengthen the children’s fine motor skills.
Our theme this coming week is Harvest.

Harvest collection
This year we are collecting tinned food for the local charity Street Life. We are asking each child to bring in one tin for our collection. Please donate, if you can, for this very worthy cause.
