All about me

​Our learning this week has been based on the theme All about Me! We began the week by reading the story “What Makes Me Me?” Our activities have included making dough faces and describing how we are different and the same as our friends, using loose parts to make a face or body and making birthday buns with our age on. We also designed birthday cards and decorated them, played bingo to name parts of our body and painted pictures of ourselves! We have also taken part in mindfulness activities to help us give our brain a rest and help us feel calm.
 
We made a block graph to show the Rainbows hair colour. The most popular colour in our class was blonde! We also chose our favourite colour and created a tally chart and counted the tally marks so we could show the answer on a block graph. Our favourite colour was pink!
 
In maths we have been learning about number 1. We learnt how to show one in different ways on a dice, domino, tens frame, our fingers, picture, tally marks and a number line. We sorted a variety of objects that show one and not one and counted one object out from a larger group. Next week we will be learning about number 2!
 
Mr Smith has played some listening games during our sports session and we have taken part in “Beat Baby” which helps us to listen carefully, follow instructions, tap and clap to a beat and sing.
 
In phonics we learnt the sounds m, a, s, d and t. We have begun to recognise the RWI pictures associated with each sound, to say the “pure” sound, (“t” instead of “tuh”) to write the sound saying the handwriting phrase and to blend sounds in words to hear a word. This week’s homework is recapping “m.”
