We enjoyed the egg hunt where we needed to look behind, in front, in between, under, and on when we were searching outside. We had a lot of fun playing Easter games with our friends. 
 

We have been sharing the book 'The Train Ride' this week. We have had fun learning, here a some of the activities we enjoyed; practising writing straight lines by creating our own railway track, going on journeys outside in our own train; we enjoyed visiting the zoo, taking it in turns to print train carriages, drawing train pathways outside using chunky chalks (straight and curvy lines), learning and talking about old steam trains and modern new trains, making bridges from pots and lollipop sticks, printing using trains in paint.  We even made our own train and enjoyed travelling inside and outside!

We showed the amounts 1, 2 and 3 using our fingers. Then we found the matching dot plate and put it by the matching numeral on the screen.

As part of Nursery Rhyme week we enjoyed learning nursery rhymes including 'Old MacDonald had a farm' and 'The Big Ship Sails'.

We explored a collection of Autumn materials e.g.    Ieaves, pinecones, sticks etc. We talked about the different textures, noticing differences and similarities e.g which were hard, soft, rough.
 

We enjoyed taking part is some relaxing yoga activities. We felt calm and quiet when practising some slow breathing techniques. We listened to different pieces of music and talked about how they made us feel and whether we liked the piece of music or not. We shared a circle time, talking about someone/something we were thankful for. 

We shared the book 'Whatever Next'. We made our own rockets and flew them outside.

We read 'The Gingerbread Man' and then outside created his journey. We chanted 'Run run as fast as you can you can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man'. We went over, under, through different pieces of equipment e.g. we went over the bridge, through the circle window.

We have enjoyed connecting with our friends, learning new names and playing together. We had fun with the musical instruments, playing them loudly and quietly.

We have had fun exploring the new outside area, practising our balancing skills and extending our friendships.

We have enjoyed getting messy! Exploring shaving foam, water, playdough, gloop, sticking and more!

We had lots of fun taking part in World Nursery Rhyme Week. We listened to and joined in with a different nursery rhyme each day and completed activities based around the nursery rhyme.

We have been learning about numbers up to 5, exploring what they look like as a numeral and an amount. We practise counting to 10, showing fingers numbers to 5 and matching an amount to a numeral.

We have been practising recognising and writing our name, we practise with our special name puzzles and then see if we can remember how to write it.

We painted portraits of ourselves to go on the wall. We used a mirror to look at our features.

We had a visitor arrive on 1^st December and have had to look out for him everyday as he moves around! We enjoyed a Christmas lunch with Christmas crackers and made some Christmas crafts to go with our songs for our performance to the grown ups! We had fun in the snow!
