EYFS<br />
What a busy few weeks it has been in the early years class!<br />
Last week a surprise fairy visited the class and left some sunflower heads and<br />
lots of glitter! We read a story and a non-fiction book about growing sunflowers,<br />
learnt about the life cycle of a sunflower and picked the seeds out of the<br />
sunflower head to take home and plant next spring. The children wrote notes<br />
for the fairy, made her a bed and looked for clues to find her hiding place. They<br />
can’t wait for her to come back soon!<br />
This week, the children have had lots of fun creating pictures of themselves<br />
in different ways such as: making pictures of their faces using natural objects<br />
in the forest school area; using the iPads to take funny photos of their faces;<br />
drawing a self portrait using a video from ‘Draw with Rob’. We have enjoyed<br />
looking at all of their creations! The children enjoyed listening to the story ‘Paper<br />
Dolls’, lots of them then went on to make their own paper dolls and take<br />
them on adventures around the classroom. We have also been learning all<br />
about the number 1; the children have been busy searching for the number 1<br />
around the classroom, they also were great at finding lots of 1 sided shapes. In<br />
phonics, we have been lucky enough to have Fred the frog helping the children<br />
to learn their sounds! He has taught them the sounds ‘m’ and ‘a’ so far and has<br />
challenged them to see what other sounds they already know. Well done for<br />
another brilliant two weeks everyone!
