Developing our weaving skills in preparation for sewing...

We are looking at the fascinating artist, Yayoi Kusama. We are developing a range of skills whilst exploring clay, including rolling balls, roiling coils, shaping the clay into the first initial of our name, and imprinting using a range of everyday objects.

We have been thoroughly enjoying looking at our baby photographs and discussing what we can do now that we couldn't do when we were babies. We have also been talking about babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly. We sequenced 'Growing Up' photographs.

Books we have been sharing - 'Once There Were Giants', 'The Growing Story' and 'A Chair for Baby Bear'

The lovely old lady was 'startled' when the Gingerbread Man jumped out of the oven and ran away. Which character did the Gingerbread Man meet first? Which character is fluffy and white? What do the fluffy white cat, the big hungry dog and the fat pink pig do when they see the Gingerbread Man? Who does the Gingerbread Man meet at the river? What happens at the end of the story? Can you share the signs we have been learning in class...

Fred the frog is teaching us to read and write a new letter sound each day. We are learning to read and write the words - mat, sit, mad, sat, at, man. We are super learners!
