We have started the new year by introducing children to yoga.
Through these sessions children will hopefully develop their concentration skills as well as becoming more aware of their breathing.
Children really enjoyed their first session and put a lot of effort into it.....
Lots of good breathing techniques...
"I can do it with my eyes shut...."
Our focus this week was to answer some of the questions children asked about the rain, why does it rain and how?
We learnt about the water cycle in class and on Wednesday we went for a walk in the Common to find signs of winter and to closely look at the sky. As it started to drizzle we talked about how the rain feels and...taste (yes, we stuck our tongues out....!)We have also made our own rain gauges which are now in our outdoor area for us to see how much rain falls. Thank you for sending in the bottles.
Most trees have no leaves during the winter months.
Some trees are always green.
"It's really cloudy and cold today"
The children seem to have come back rested from their holidays and ready to write. Mrs Webb's phonics group this week decided that they didn't even need her to give them a sentence or a question but would rather make up their own.
PE with Mr Knights and we had a fantastic dance session, we were learning all about 'beats' and how to move in time to these. The children thought carefully about different ways of moving and how to keep in time with the beat create by our big African drum.
Our water themed classroom is beginning to take shape and the children have enjoyed transforming their role play area into a submarine this week.
Finally to finish the week we had a lot of thinking to do in maths today. The children were set the challenge of using the same shapes, a square, a rectangle and two triangles to create different things.
Congratulations to Ruby, our Golden Book winner today for all of the super artwork you have created in class this week.
Have a lovely weekend everybody, see you all Monday.
