A
really busy week in the Chapple Room.
The demolition of the buildings across
the road has resulted in great interest in construction and destruction! We had
our own construction challenge using spaghetti and Blu-Tac. The children showed
amazing resilience to try and build their structures. We discussed the
properties of spaghetti and thought about why it was not great to build
with.
We
continued to work on sound recognition with this week’s focus N.
We
were treated to a performance of Three Billy Goats Gruff by Seb, Jonas, Yifan
and Flynn. They did a great job of acting out the story for the rest of the
class.
Big
Boys Breakfast was a great success with the sounds of hammering and tie making
ringing out. We finished off with our Great Egg Drop Challenge which tested the
engineering skills on the Big Boys.
Erin
from Dancify came in to teach the children some new dances. A great time was
had by all.
We
also read the book “I Wonder” which encourages children to ask questions about
their world. Flynn later saw a pattern of circles, diamonds and squares on the
floor and asked “I wonder why they are there?” He worked out it was the disco
ball creating the patterns.
Show and Tell this week is the sound c
for cat (We are looking at the sounds, so “c" for king is also an
option- s for circle is taught separately)
As part of our work into “Who We Are” and identity,
please could you send in a photo of your family. We will be looking at how all
families are the same and different.
We
are collecting small boxes etc again for our making table again if you have any
at home to bring in.
Regards
Martin, Louise, Elodie and Satin
