Newsletter 11.10.2019

This week we continued our Autumn theme. The children had opportunities to make spikey hedgehog paintings and autumn leaf handprints, which are displayed in the cloakroom.

 

In morning circle, we talked about how the weather is changing and other signs of autumn we have seen. This month we will focus on the number two. We will help all children find and count two objects and read the numeral ‘2’. The older children will start to think about how to make two e.g. 1+1, 2-0

 

Pre-school children learnt the letter ‘E’ this week and were very good at finding the correct initial sound for objects.

 

In music, the children had fun using scarves, glockenspiels and xylophones to accompany our new song ‘Autumn Leaves are Falling’.

Diwali Celebration

We will celebrate Diwali, a Hindu festival of light, with the children on Thursday 24th October at 14:30. Parents are welcome to join us and we will send invitations home next week. During the celebration the children will perform a little dance and there will also be some lovely craft activities to complete with your child/children.

Autumn time is coming.

All around,

All around
