Next week we will begin to look at farms. Following some of my research we will be doing some of this with Enquiry Based Learning. Here are our plans:

*What do we already know about farms? (EBL)
*Animal cutting and junk box barn making.
*Learning new farm animal themed Nursery Rhymes.
*What do we want to learn about farms? (EBL)
*Challenge Time: Art – mixing colours.
*Farm animal yoga.
*Farm animal sounds lotto.

As always we will do many more child initiated things but along with our phonics sessions these are the planned adult activities.

These are the planned activities for next week. We will also do lots more including Early Talk Boost and RWI phonics.

*Sorting farm animals.
*Visiting the library van.
*Drawing favourite farm animals.
*Look at holiday photos.
*Large scale printing.
*Sorting beach items.
*Beach item drawing.

Can you guess some of our favourite things at the moment?

We are planning another busy week next week with lots of different activities and will continue with the story ‘Dinosaurs in the Supermarket’ where we will be using positional language in our own supermarket role play area with our dinosaurs.

As we love baking we will be making chocolate chip cookies (as requested by Nursery and Reception children). Later on in the week we will be making smarties cookies and fairy cakes to put towards the Comic Relief Bake sale on Friday after school.

The children will also be learning about traditions at St. Patrick’s Day, including a new song.

During Challenge Time with Reception we will be looking at the work of Hamish Mackie.

As we do, we will be taking our fortnightly trip to the Library van to have a look at some new books.

From the week beginning Monday, 6th of February we have the following adult initiated plans. These plans may change depending on the children’s interests and are never steadfast. We will also be doing lots of the usual….singing, looking at and reading stories, drawing, outdoor play and much more!

This week we are planning to do things based on our Winter topic, baking and Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

*Dress dolls in winter clothes.
*Cosmic Yoga.
*Paint scarf and glove patterns.
*Make winter playdough.
*Make healthy flapjacks.
*Make more items for the Bug Hotel (Challenge Time).
*Unworry drawing activity.
*Winter walk around the school and Nursery grounds.
