Autumn 1

This half term we have we have been reading a variety of different books and have completed a number of activities based on these. We enjoyed reading ‘Elmer’ and making colourful elephants and discussed how we are all different.

We have read ‘It was a cold, dark night’ and made a variety of hedgehogs. We have discussed what nocturnal animals are and some of the animals that are nocturnal.

We had great fun reading ‘The wild thing’ and made a trap to catch a ‘wild thing’.

We have read ‘The rainbow fish’ and discussed how it is good to share. We made rainbow fish out of a variety of different materials.

In maths, we have been learning to count with 1:1 correspondence. We have also discussed measures and can say which is taller, shorter, longer.

We took part in celebrating harvest festival and sang ‘Dingle Dangle Scarecrow’.

We had a visit from the fire service who explained how to keep ourselves safe, what to do if there was a fire and showed us around their fire engine. We looked at all the equipment they use in their job and the fire fighters showed us how high their hose can spray.
