N-Turtles

This morning we had a very special visitor, Viv. She came in to talk to us about our teeth and how it is very important to look after them. We all worked very hard answering lots of questions and did some really good listening. We even had the chance to pretend to be a dentist and look into each other’s mouths.

Everybody needs to remember to brush their teeth in the morning and at night time before bed.

After dinner we brushed our teeth. We had lots of fun!

In Early Years, we have had lots of fun learning about Diwali. We have read The story of Rama and Sita and we have watched videos of  a girl preparing and celebrating Diwali with her family. Two children in Early Years very kindly  brought in some Diwali treats for everybody to try. They were very yummy!

This week we have been learning all about harvest.

We have learnt some harvest songs. Including the harvest samba, one world and big red combined harvester. What is your favourite harvest song?

For our harvest we will be performing the song of Dingle Dangle Scrawcrow. Can you sing it to your grown ups?

In preperation for our performance we have been making wrist bands to pretend to be a scarecrow. We used one handed tools and practised our cutting skills.

See you all tommorow (Friday the 14th October) at 2.30pm for our harvest celebration.

In early years we have transformed our learning environment using the theme of dragons and fantasy.

We have been making knights using a range of different skills, including: using a hole punch, cutting carefully and holding scissors correctly and joining using split pins. Lots of children worked really hard and persisted, even when they found it a little tricky and they were successful in making a puppet knight! Well Done !

We have been reading dragon stories in our castle tent.

We have also made castles using the wooden building bricks and materials.

This morning we came into the Turtle class to find some kind of large egg was sat upon our smartboard!

We loved guessing what could be inside the egg and came up with some fantastic ideas. What do you think could be inside the egg?

We had a fantastic time at Ponderosa. What was your favourite part of the day?
