The Foundation Stage Hub

The chlidren have had a blast on their first week back. They have so enjoyed the outside area and the lovely sunny weather. They came back all full of smiles and ready to meet up with their friends.

We have been talking about the weather and deciding what day it is today  and what the weather is like.

Noah really enjoyed making his jigsaw and putting all the pieces together.He was so excited when he finished it. He also enjoyed riding the bike and trying to catch Mrs Rowbottom on her bike.

Hunter really enjoyed reading his book and looking at all the exciting pictures. He loved climbing in the half moon in soft play and climbing all the way to the top of the climbing frame.

Connor went straight for our new build a brick box and loved making towers. We sang a song together as we built it.

The Hub

The boys had a lovely morning playing with all the activities in the Hub. They both took it in turns with the cars and helped each other with the jigsaws. Hunter really loves the jigsaws. Tyler enjoyed his puzzle and was so excited that he could do it all by himself.

 

The swing was good fun and so was climbing on the tiger. The boys  learnt how to share, be patient and have their turn.

We  then went outside for some fresh air. They played together on the equipment. Hunter loved the voice horn and could not believe that he could hear Tyler if he put his ear to it.

HUB Science Week

Here we have lots of fabulous phots of us being Super Scientists. What the photos can not show you is the amazing discussions that we had before, during and after these activities, which blew our teacher away. We loved being hands on and we really loved accessing these investigations which were presented in a very SEN friendly way, using symbols that were kindly made for the National Science and Engineering Week (nsew.org.uk)

Super Spinners Investigation

Paper Tray Investigation

  

Red Nose Day HUB Fun

We wore what made us happy.

We helped to build THE MOST gigantic whole school paper chain, filled with links that we drew of things that bring us joy! It could loop the hall more than 4 times!

We played a brilliant game of Treasure Island in the gorgeous sunshine which Brad from The Tigers Trust taught us last week, and developed our tactics for defending and attacking.

 

We enjoyed eating Red Nose biscuits which were a lovely surprise left for us by our  HUB friends!

Check Us Out!

We had such a great day celebrating our love of books on World Book Day! We hope that you have all been able to exchange your voucher for a free book this year. Thank you once again for the amazing support of our CPPS families. Check out how amazing we look!

 

Red Nose Day!

Mrs Robinson made some sensory bags for our tuff tray, to introduce the children to Red Nose Day!

                                               

We had so many giggles wearing our red noses.

Even the characters in our story had red noses!

Can you spot them?

                                               

We enhanced our fine motor skills by decorating and linking our paper chains.

Our paper chains will then be linked together with the whole school connecting us as one!

How wonderful!

                                               

For our Friday treat we decorated our biscuits with a red nose! 

They were delicious! Mmmm yum yum!!!!!!! 

This made us very happy!

                                               

Happy Red Nose Day!

We enjoyed fundraising for such a worthy cause!

 

The Hub

This week the children have been investigating our new pet house box. They have been hiding inside with all their animals. All the children loved getting inside and climbing on the top. Mrs Rowbottom got inside and Kojeen fed her through the holes with his toys.

 

 

 

The children have enjoyed playing in the Hub this week. All the bricks were put into colours and the boys made a huge wall . The Pop up Pirates game made us all jump when we won as we all took it in turns to play. We all did great sharing.

What a lovely happy week we all have had sharing ,caring and turn taking.

 

 

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

We’re going on a bear hunt! We’re going to catch a big one! What a beautiful day!

We’re not scared, demonstrating our good looking and listening skills whilst watching our new story.

We absolutely love retelling all our stories through Tales Toolkit!

Mark making with paw prints, we completed our journey from start to finish using visuals to represent characters, a setting, a problem and a solution.

                                           

We creeped outdoors in search of bears using our own homemade binoculars.

                                             

Uh-Uh! We found grass. Long wavy grass.

                                             

Uh-Uh! We came across a river. A deep, cold river.

                                             

Uh-uh! We got stuck in the mud. Thick, oozy mud.

We made our own natural paintbrushes using sticks and grass creating our artwork using real mud.

                                             

Uh-uh! We stumbled across a forest. A big, dark forest.

                                             

Uh-uh! We had to go through a snowstorm. A swirling whirling snowstorm.

                                         

We arrived safely to school with our families through a real swirling, whirling snowstorm.

                                           

We had so much fun playing in real snow!

                                           

We made our own bears using a fork printing technique.

We’re still not scared!!!!!

                       

After completing the features on our bears… we felt very scared!

We ran all the way back home through the swirling whirling snowstorm, the deep dark forest, the thick oozy mud, the deep cold river, the long wavy grass, stumbled up the stairs and hid under the covers.

We demonstrated good teamwork skills creating the bedspread using a variety of materials to simulate the one in our story.

Can you spot us hiding under the covers?

We’re never, ever, ever going on a bear hunt again!!!!!

 

 

The Hub

 

So lovely to see Connor trying new things and engaging in all our toys and activities.

He came in this morning full of smiles and went over to the garage, Connor then used his choice board to ask for his car.

 

The Hub

 

 

Today was such an exciting day. Noah has been very shy and has hesitated when  playing or interacting with his peers even with adult support.

This morning he watched Tyler get the cars and drop them down the track.  He then let go of my hand and went over to the side and got himself the other track. Tyler then handed Noah a car and he copied what Tyler was role modelling.

He was so happy and excited. What a fabulous thing to see…so happy Noah is enjoying the Hub and is now joining in.
