Our Foxes have been very busy this week learning about Friendship and Autumn. We have been learning about building relationships with our peers through PSHE sessions and playing team games to build self confidence and communicating with our new friends. We also created a brainstorm on everything we knew about Autumn. This was a great way to build up new vocabulary and interacting in class discussions.

We have also been very busy learning during our exploring time by carrying out the following activities:

-Developing our fine motor by cutting and sticking to make Friendship bands.

-Exploring a range of Autumnal findings to create an Autumn collage.

-Reading and exploring a range of books linked to Friendship and seasons.

-Understanding the importance of E-Safety and using educational apps on our new IPads.

-Working as a team to build models

-Practicing to form letters correctly

-Using our phonic skills to write our friend’s names

This week, our lovely Foxes have been learning about the book 'Owl Babies'. We have been retelling the story as a class and have been working on number recognition. We also had a scavenger hunt in our Blue Bell Woods to find as many leaves, twigs and sticks for our Owl Babies tuff tray. We also found a baby frog hopping about in our outdoor area.! We have had a wonderful first full week and our exploring time has been full of learning adventures. To develop our Oracy skills, we have introduced Show and Tell. This was a great success and will be taking place once a week.

We have also been carrying out the following activities during exploring time such as:

-Developing our fine motor skills by cutting and creating stick puppets for story telling

-Exploring books in our reading area

-Using the Duplo and working as a team

-Creating owls by using different media and materials

-Making portraits of owl and developing pencil control

-Counting bears and number matching
