A House in the Woods

By Mrs H WILEMAN11th January 2022

 

 

We were very brave reading parts of our story, ‘A House in the Woods’, in front of our Hub audience today.

We were able to read accurately by blending the sounds in words with two and three known graphemes. Some of us were able to blend words with up to five known graphemes. We sounded out unfamiliar words accurately and also read some common exception words. 

We recorded each other reading and retelling the story then enjoyed watching them back again.

Well done Hubbers, for demonstrating such wonderful speaking and listening!

                     

 

The Wheels on the Bus

By Mrs H WILEMAN10th January 2022

We listened to various versions of ‘The Wheels on the Bus’, before creating our own.

We researched the song and found out it was published in 1939 as a way to keep children entertained on a bus. Our little Hubbers were very keen to compose their own.

We had lots of fun discussing and creating our own Hub version. Ideas included ‘The wheels on the aeroplane’, ‘the wheels on the lorry’ and the ‘wheels on the tractor’.

We decided on ‘The Wheels on the Tractor.

We created a PowerPoint of our version  as we were a little shy to perform our song.

The wheels on the tractor go mummm, mummm, mummm,…………all day long.

The engine on the tractor goes putt, putt, putt………….all day long.

The dog on the tractor goes woof woof woof ………. all day long.

The cow on the tractor goes moo, moo, moo………..all day long.

The farmer on the tractor works, works, works……….all day long.

 

Play Dough Fun

By Mrs J BRANSTON9th February 2021

The Children had so much fun playing with their playdough.  It really helped to enhance their fine motor skills and encouraged them to think about all the different shapes they could create.

They enjoyed making lots of exciting things.  Sofia made a face using pasta and buttons.  She then enjoyed telling me all about his eyes and his smiling face made out of pasta.

Aliza made lots of circles and could tell me all about it.  She was so excited to tell me if a circle had sides and if it had any corners.  Great listening skills.

 

 

Bouncing Fun

By Mrs J BRANSTON5th February 2021

We have had so much fun on the trampoline outside.

We all jumped as high as we could .

We then counted to our special number 8.

The children had lots of turn taking and we all made sure we were all safe.

As well as helping with our physical development it made us so happy

 

 

 

Social Skills

By Mrs J BRANSTON1st February 2021

The children had lots of fun today working together.We did lots of listening, looking and taking turns . The best part was our story about Louis who would not sit still. We discussed how we sit and why is it important to sit properly. The children also enjoyed hiding the teddy. They had to close their eyes then open them and then do good looking to find him. We also did compliments at the end to encourage the children to think of something another child had done well in the session.

The children were so excited to play with all the activities. They said they cannot wait to read all the books.

The children also enjoyed looking at the rules and seeing what activities we were going to use next.

 

Name That Tune!

By Mrs H WILEMAN20th November 2020

We displayed good listening skills identifying familiar tunes played by Mrs Foston on her guitar.

The tunes were chosen from a selection of song stones.

We loved our music time and the song stones Mrs Morgan made for us.

Finding lots of different ways to balance.

By Mrs J BRANSTON4th November 2020

This week we have had such good fun finding new ways to balance.We have used our balancing bikes and found new skills which have helped us move around safely.

We have used all our special equipment that we have in our amazing outdoor area to help us balance on our own.

We also had fun in the Sensory garden doing a sensory circuit. We all took it in turns to balance on our stomach and try and make it to the other side.We then had to stand up without falling and jump off the other end into a hoop.It was lots of fun. We also got the scooters out and enjoyed those too.

We found lots of exciting ways to balance this week and had lots of fun doing it.
