This half term we have explored the autumn leaves and trees through sensory, painting and learning. Lots of different colours and textures. The children have colour matched, picked their own leaves and made beautiful art work.
Learning about Autumn
Category : Crew Tymon 24/25
Life Skills.
One of our favourite life skills is chopping fruit for our fruit salads, yummy!
The children focused on the different skills and techniques that are needed to chop soft and hard fruits. We used different hand motions when chopping a banana in comparison to chopping an apple.
Everyone participated and focused brilliantly. Amazing work!
Expedition biscuits.
For our story in expedition, we decided to make our own little pigs. We used pink icing with some marshmallows and googly eyes.
we enjoyed eating these as much as we did making them!
The Three Little Pigs.
Our new book for expedition is ‘The three little pigs’. The children have been reading the story and learning the sequencing. We have looked at the different types of materials the houses were made with and which is strong enough to withstand the big bad wolf!
Phonics.
This week the children have been practicing their blending and letter formation. The children loved the different textures and forming letters with different mediums.
Sports Day.
The children practiced jumping on spots, balancing on stepping stones (floor is lava), wiggling the hoops on our hips and practicing to balance bean bags on their heads. Great work!
Cooking in Crew.
Last half term the children focused on spreading and cutting different textures of food. We made jam sandwiches, fairy bread, fruit cutting and to link in with our expedition book, ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’, the children made bear faces with rice cakes. All the children enjoyed the new flavours.
World book day!
Today was AMAZING because it was World Book Day! We got to dress up as our favourite book characters, and everyone looked so cool!
We really enjoyed our sensory story of the Jack and the beanstalk!
Pancake day
Tuesday was the best day ever! We made pancakes, and it was VERY messy (but that’s the fun part!).
First, we mixed all the ingredients in a big bowl. The flour went poof! everywhere, and our faces turned white like snow. We stirred and stirred with big wooden spoons—our arms got super tired, but we didn’t give up!
Then, we scooped the gooey pancake mix into little cups. It was sticky and squishy, and some of it even landed on the table (oops!). But that’s okay because we were having so much fun!
They were the BEST pancakes in the whole wide world!
New outdoor toys
This week we got some new toys for our outdoor area, we got a new slide and a play house! We really like enjoy them both. Look at us practicing our cleaning skills
Valentines♥️
Before the half term we make Valentine’s Day cards for our grown ups, we used our hands to make a flower, we also used toilet roll tubes to make love hearts! We also practiced our hand writing, look how good we’re see getting with writing our names!✍️
