Hi all!

Just a quick update with some of our learning that has taken place over the last couple of weeks!

We have been learning all about ‘Whatever Next’- a story about Baby Bear travelling to the moon, meeting an owl and having a picnic! We have written a shopping list for picnic foods, cut and glued pictures of space essentials into backpacks, tested materials to see which one would make a good space helmet for baby bear, recorded speech for an eBook of the story and many more fun activities!

The children have loved pretending to go to space in our spaceship role play!

We are also focusing on each number from 1-5.  We are looking at the shape of the number and how to draw that many items/represent the number through mark making. It is important that children learn to stop at that number to understand the true value of the number.

Next week, we will be learning about the story of ‘Owl Babies’ and finding out about nocturnal animals as we approach the darker and colder months of the year!

Perhaps you could watch some owl videos together or carry out some simple research! The library is a good resource to use to check out some information books together!
