Ordering Numbers
The children have been working very hard to explore numbers 0-3 in depth. We have recited, counted, subitised and now we are ordering the numbers. The children began by reciting numbers in sequence and then we worked together to order them correctly.
PE AL - Musical Statues
In PE the children are beginning to understand we take part in PE to stay healthy and they are developing an understanding of what 'healthy' means. We love completing our warm up first and learning new stretches/moves. We recapped the lesson with different ways of moving while listening to 'Lets…
Subitising!
In maths this week we have been learning how to subitise amounts up to 3. The children are great at recognising the numerals and we are now recognising regular patterns. We worked with our friends in a group to roll the dice and shout the amount we saw, we then completed an action to match that…
Autumn walk
We have been learning all about the signs of Autumn. We then used our senses to go on an Autumn walk and describe what we see, feel and hear. The children loved exploring the school grounds! We collected leaves, sticks and brought them back to explore in the classroom.
We were very lucky to…

Recognising numbers 0-2
This week we continued to recognise the numbers 0 and 1, we have now been learning about number 2. We recognised the numbers and started to represent them with objects. The children did amazing counting the correct amount of objects to match the numeral.
Phonics - Instrumental Sounds
We have loved exploring the musical instruments this week. We have learnt their names and listened to the different sounds they make. We identified if the sounds were long or short and then experimented with making the sounds loud and quiet. It was so much fun! At the end of the session we always…
Fine Motor - Tracing
We have been working very hard on our pencil grips and finding out how to get the best control of the pencil. We all have a dominate hand and Miss Mayer modelled how to hold the pencil correctly. We then practised tracing over different lines with increasing control.
We used the felt tips and…
