Week Beginning 22th November 2021

 ...And Bear finds a new friend!

A lovely story about friendship and feeling shy when meeting someone new.

We talked about how sometimes some of us feel like Owl when meeting new people.

We also thought of words that describe friendship and as well as discussing the importances of having special people around us.Here are some of the thoughts from Class 1:

'Friends are kind'

'Friends play together'.

'Friends look after each other'

Friends are caring and give cuddles'.

In Maths we looked at different ways of making number 4. 

We used counters to begin with to help us think about different arrangements for it. 

We also spent time investigating magnets and what 'sticks' to a magnet and what doesn't.

We sorted objects into Magnetic and Non-Magnetic materials.

We had our very first taste of Nature Play today, outside with our friends from Butterflies of Britain.  Despite the cold and wet, the children had a wonderful session...

As you can see we managed to find enough weather suits for everyone in class (albeit the fit was a little inventive in some cases) to put over their clothes to help keep warm and dry... these sessions will happen whatever the weather so puddle suits, or waterproof trousers maybe a great addition to any Christmas list ready for the start of the regular weekly sessions starting in January.

Please remember play costumes need to be in school by next Friday, please come and see us on the gate if you are having any problems with what you need or getting hold of it, we have some bits and pieces in school that we may be able to help with.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
