This week in our challenge learning we have been making houses out of paper bags. This meant practising our scissor skills when cutting out the different shapes and it also helped us with our shape recognition! It also opened up lots of wonderful discussion about who lives in our house!
We have also been drawing around our bodies this week and naming the different parts of our body, some children challenged themselves to write labels on their drawings!
Great learning Penguins!

We have really enjoyed flexing our brain muscles this week with our Maths learning. We have been busy counting different objects to 10; making sure that we touch each object as we say every number. We have build building towers of bigger numbers, which has been really tricky and we really had to concentrate when checking our towers were right! Some children even came up with their own song about numbers as they jumped on the number tiles!
Well done Penguins, you have made me super proud!

Today we have looked at what different types of technology we use at home. The children talked about the different things that they play on at home.
We then discussed how to be safe online and what to do if something comes on our screen that we don't know;TELL A GROWNUP!
We also made a video of Mummy penguins song to help us remember. Didn't they do great?

As part of our SMSC topic we have started to look at what makes us unique? The children came up with some brilliant answers. We will continue to look at this question in different ways over the next few weeks. This is also something you could talk to your child about at home.

As part of our topic we have been writing cards to people in our family and our friends. This has helped us to practice writing our names and for some of us writing some other trickier words. They have done a great job!

We have been really enjoying our rainbow challenges this week all to do with ourselves. We have been making faces using different loose parts and also keeping the babies nice and clean in the water tray.
Don't forget to email in your baby pictures so we can look at these next week as part of our what makes me special topic.

We have been having a great time in our outside classroom. We have been making mud pies and making them extra special by adding rosemary and lavender from our garden! They smelt delicious! We used lots of fine motor skills to scoop and mix our pies.
