| Dear Parents,
This week we: - ended our Unit of Inquiry about Stories by having a focus on storytelling. We were looking at how well the children could remember events, talk about characters, listen to others and answer questions.
re-told the story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt by ○ using props on the light box ○ using sensory bottles ○ drawing and painting story maps ○ acting out the story in the garden. also read Room on the Broom and used role-play masks to act out the story. did some addition by combining two groups of objects and counting learnt the sounds c, c and ck and read words with these sounds. Named our first frog-let "Froggy" and are watching eagerly for the next tadpole to complete its transformation. baked delicious flapjacks with Mrs. Psaras. played a new game called 'Bug in the Rug' where one child was blindfolded and another hid under the blanket. Then we removed the blindfold and that child had to use their observation skills to work out who was in the rug took a group of children to record a song for the school radio and learnt how to use the control panel to make the microphones go live!
