Forest School Activity

Teddy Bears

We have had a fun teddy bear themed this week as you have enjoyed dancing and singing with Mrs Allen on the patio to “Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear”.  You also enjoyed exploring the picnic equipment as you set up picnics all over the outdoor area.  The highlight of the week was the Teddy Bear picnic at Burcot Grange – photos to follow….

Listening

Who am I?

We tried really hard to follow the listening rules this week with our listening game!  It was too tricky to stay quiet though as we had to listen to, name and copy the farm animals sounds.  Have a go this weekend and try not to laugh.  Guess the Farm Animal Noise Game | Animal Quiz (youtube.com)

Phonics

The zebra sound, z

The sound box made one final visit before the summer as we enjoyed learning the last letter of the alphabet.  It didn’t have many objects in there but more book and movie characters – Zog, Zurg and Zazu.  We enjoyed making up some silly nonsense words too!

Communication and Language

Fergus the Farmyard Dog

A revisit this week from some familiar characters that we have met before in a summer story.  Can you remember which farm animals Fergus heard?  You enjoyed working out with your friends what the squeak sound could have been in the story.  Making predictions of what comes next is quite a story skill!

Dough Disco

We enjoyed a disco medley as we let the music machine choose the disco songs this week.  We are always so impressed with how much you remember about the songs, artists and dough actions from the whole year.  Next week, you will all receive the playlist of the disco songs chosen for you to create your own playlist at home!

A message for parents – we still have some “school produce” olympic torches for sale.  If you would like to buy your child’s torch ready for the summer games, pop to the office with your £2.50 to collect.
