Play dough and more

Today we got some new play dough equipment.
The children loved exprimenting with all the different cutters and utensils.
It was great to listen in on the conversations at the table.

The children were: rolling, pulling, stretching, pinching and squeezing - all great activities for developing fine motor skills.

                                                               

The children were taking turns and sharing, they were using their imagination and there was even a cookie factory and a dinosaur cave!



                                                        

Meanwhile, in another part of the classroom ... there was a contruction company busy building a jail, a dinosaur zoo and all sorts of other bits and bobs!

                                       


                      
 Once again lots creativity, designing, sharing and negotiating going on!

Reading Eggs

Last week the children were introduced to the wonders of Reading Eggs and Mathseeds
We learnt how to sign in and use the app.
It is very tricky!
But they all enjoyed using the activities and games.
It is a great programme and helps reinforce the learning that is going on in the classroom as well as building confidence in both curriculum areas.
The children have bought home a letter with their login and password so they can work on Reading Eggs at home.
Have fun!

Tuesday Library Day!

Tuesday is Room 12's library day.

We line up quietly with our library book bags and walk quietly up to the library.

Welcome to the library!

We return our books to Mrs Clark ... 

... and line up the library book bags neatly.

Now we get to browse through the picture books

  

We are learning to put the book back in the correct spot under the author's name.

    

Time to issue our new books

          

Bye Mrs Clark, see you next week!

Jelly!

 We Made Jelly!

Today was "j" day in Room 12 and we made jelly.
The children loved tasting the jelly crystals, then watching them dissolve in the hot water ... and of course eating the jelly!

Football!

Today Room 11 and 12 Played Football

Today the coaches from FFC Academy came to school and gave the children a taster of their after school programme. 
The children loved playing mini games of football and stuck in the mud - football style!
There is a flyer in the children's book bags with more information.
