This week, our Foxes have been learning about the story of 'The Jolly Christmas Postman'. We have also been learning about the role of a postal worker and have set up our very own post office role play area. We have also been lucky enough to have a postal worker come to visit our Fox Class this week.  For Maths, we have been learning how to count objects that cannot be moved. During our Understanding the World session, we have been learning what happens to letters when we post them and the role of a Postal Worker. In our PSHE lessons, we spoke about morals and discussing different scenarios from our book of the week, have the characters made good or bad decisions in the past? 

During our exploring time, we carried out the following activities: 

-Wrote letters to our friends and family and used the post service in our classroom!

-Explored a range of fiction and non fiction texts linked to the post office/letters

-Used scales to explore weight in our post office role play (some parcels were very heavy!)

-Found shapes in our indoor and outdoor learning areas

-Used our phonic knowledge to read words and simple sentences in our focus activities

-Practiced lining up and independent changing in P.E

-Carried out the role of a postal worker and delivered letters to our friends and family

-Learnt new keywords such as 'postcode'. When we learn new keywords it gets stored in our 'Brain Word Bank'.

-Wrote mini books linked to our 'Book of the Week'.

-Developing our Oracy skills during snack time during 'Pics and Tell'

-Securing our independence by pouring our own milk and washing our own fruit during snack time.
