Personal , Social and Emotional Development

We have been thinking about the ourselves and our home.  We also had a circle time about different feelings......when we feel happy and when we feel sad and what we can do if we do feel like this. 
​​
​Physical Development

The finger play table in our classroom has also been filled with lots of activities to get our fingers moving ready for writing! We have also been using the new PE equipment in our outside area.
​
Communication and Language

We have started our phonics programme.  We focus on listening and attention skills then start to introduce different sounds.  We have been using our buried treasure game on the Interactive whiteboard and sounding out words and putting them in the chest (if they are real words) or in the bin (if they are made up words!)
​
​Understanding the World

We have looked at different types of homes and sharing with our friends what our house looks like.  We also had a try at painting our homes as well.  We also looked at homes around the world and how they are different to ours.​​

​​Literacy

We are practising forming our names correctly.  We practise this every morning when we come into school. We are also practising writing new sounds that we learning in letters and sounds.

Maths

Our maths focus is counting from 1-20 and recognise the numbers.  We are also looking at 2D shapes and the properties of these.

Expressive Arts and Design

We have focused on using lots of different materials.  We made a picture of our face!
