Phase 2 Sounds - All the sounds we know so far!
Here are the sounds we know, so you can practise over the break ...
We baked like 'Little Bakers' today!
We have been bakers in Bees! It smelt SO good across Berry Brow Infant and Nursery School this afternoon!
Now that we know our story 'The Little Red Hen' we have been learning what a recipe is and how to follow them. Then today we put all we have learnt into action to bake our very own tasty bread
We were better friends than they were in the story and we worked as a team and all had a role to play. Then the best bit was eating the bread we made! It was SO tasty ... we ate it all before bringing any home! Why not try and make your own bread at home?
What another busy week we have had in bees! We have been using our fine motor skills in the playdough area making things linked to our story. The children have been busy in the construction area as well as learning lots in our maths area using different resources to help them count 🐝 Don’t forget to send your child in a warm coat, hat and gloves now the weather has changed as we still do lots of our learning outdoors 🍁 Thankyou.
Our Families
We have had another busy week in Bees having lots of fun learning. Now the weather is changing please remember to send appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoors. 🐝
In Bees we have enjoyed walking around school looking at key areas and landmarks on the outside of school that we can see including the bus stop and castle hill. We have also been busy inside mixing different colours to paint with as well as getting busy in the construction and creative area 🐝
We have had another busy week working indoors and outdoors. We have been sorting and comparing different amounts in Maths. With Coach Alex we have been learning how to move in different directions and doing careful balancing 🐝
In Early Years it has been very colourful the last couple of weeks. We have been learning the names of colours, to use colours and how to mix different colours. We have loved painting both indoors and outdoors. Look at our BRILLIANT artwork 🌈 There are some other photos here to show you all our other learning with our new friends too! We have had a great couple of weeks and we are always learning.
