Our topic this term is: Who Am I?

Children are going to be provided with real life opportunities to explore changes and life cycles, making observations by being involved and concentrating. They are going to develop their creative and critical thinking skills by making comparisons when exploring similarities and differences within the environment. A wide range of reading experiences, with a focus on Julia Donaldson, will help children to foster a love of reading.

As we continue to make links between our ideas, we respond to new experiences and begin to predict sequences e.g. what might happen next in a story.

Royal Mail Visit 

What an exciting day! The Royal Mail came to visit, and they brought Lenny the letter too! They told us all about the journey of a letter, so now we can create a Message Centre in the classroom, and send lots of messages to our friends.

Shadows

We have been intrigued to see how to make our own shadows, having discovered The Big Bad Mouse played a trick on the Gruffalo with his shadow. What fun!

The Chicks Arrive!

What an exciting couple of weeks in Orange Class… we have had the amazing opportunity to watch chicks hatch and look after the newborns. We have been ever so gentle and have taken very good care of them as they continue to grow bigger and stronger. Our favourite part has been having fluffy cuddles!
