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.

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.

 

 

 

Interventions

The children have been having so much fun during our Friendship groups. They can all share and turn take with each other. They love to catch the frog and they enjoy it when we play look who is different.

Our other groups are also so exciting as we can choose a game and play it with our friends. We can also pretend to be the teacher and ask the teacher to follow our instructions.

Lots of fun and lots of learning.

 

HUB PE

Team Games

We worked well as a team to pass and score within the baskets.

 

We considered making the most of space and how we can defend our basket from the other team.

We had fun and enjoyed playing this game in the sunshine!

HUB Art

As we are learning about London in Geography and History, we chose to create a Julian Opie style portrait of Queen Elizabeth. We then worked on our colour mixing skills to fill the portrait with simple colours. We explored mark making techniques with a pencil which could be used to add texture and then applied these textured marks to our watercolour portrait to add depth and detail.

So proud of Kojeen. When he first entered the soft play area Kojeen use to be quite hesitant. He has slowly made his way from the middle and now even goes to the back .He ventured over to the stairs yesterday.

So much progress has been made and his confidence is coming in leaps and bounds. Keep it up Kojeen

 

 

The boys enjoyed having timeout together after all their hard work climbing.

The children were so excited today to see the Meerkats. They watched them jump around and come over to us to see us all.

The park keeper let us inside to look through the big screen.

 

The park was full of new exciting equipment and Hunter loved it.

He explored all the park and even counted the numbers painted on the floor. He asked for a push on the swing and did good listening and looking.

Connor had great fun today with our bubble machine. He tried to pop them and enjoyed chasing them around.

All the children danced around and we counted all the ones we popped.

Our machine made us all happy today and we cant wait for it to be back on tomorrow.

 

 

Shrove Tuesday!

After learning all about Shrove Tuesday we measured, sieved, cracked, pored, mixed, cooked, tossed, spread then tasted our delicious pancakes.

Mmmmmmm yum yum!!!!!!!!
