We have been exploring our different senses each week. This week we focused on our hearing. As a group we listened to potential sounds we would hear inside and outside. We loved guessing the sounds. We then went on a sound walk to see what we could hear.

In PE this week we have been recapping the different movements we learnt last week. We took part in ‘Sticky kids - Let’s go walking’. We had to listen to the song and then move through walking, jogging, marching, galloping and on our tip-toes. The children loved this.

All About Zero! 
 

In Numbers and patterns we have looked at the numeral ‘0’ and have been identifying this around our environment. We discussed the value of Zero and could show this with objects, on our hands, and enjoyed listening to the story ‘Zero’ by Kathrine Otoshi.

This week we have been using vocabulary to describe events. We sequence routines familiar to us and used language ‘fist, then, next, last’ to describe what we had sequenced. 
super vocab! 

This week we continued our learning around people who help us. Last week we focused on what they look like, what uniform they wear, what colours they typically have and we have now extended our learning to how they help us.

The children have loved using their senses to explore the different materials. They have been using lots of vocabulary such as ‘soft, rough, smooth, fluffy’. Together we felt the materials and grouped them into the correct category.

Super vocabulary!
