What are we doing at the moment?
The children have settled in really well and have been fantastic at learning the classroom routines. We have been exploring the outside area by going on a ‘Sound Collectors’ walk. We are enjoying making new friends, learning about each other and thinking about the initial letter sounds in our names. We have been learning about skeletons, having great fun joining in with The Skeleton Dance, creating observational paintings of skeletons, and extending our tool and scissor skills by cutting out and rebuilding paper skeletons. We have been using our wonderful imaginations to create a great variety of imaginative models, both inside and outside.
