Winter Wonderland

This week we are focusing on the cold weather and winter.

We have been dressing teddy in the right clothes for the weather making sure he has his scarf, hat, gloves and welly boots.

We've been singing weather songs like Incy wincy Spider, I can sing a rainbow and I hear thunder.
We've also been fun singing The weather's always changing. Why not try the links below to sing along too.




We have been comparing and sorting weather and thinking about what the weather is like in different seasons.
 


We investigated which materials were best to make a coat that would keep Buzz Lightyear dry in the rain.
Here are some of the children's observations:

"It will make a good coat because it's plastic."
"The material has tiny holes in it so Buzz will get wet."
"The tinfoil has no holes and will work... the water just drips off!"

We had fun in P.E. learning how to balance on points (areas like elbows, knees, hands and feet) and patches (areas like backs and stomachs)

 
 
 
 
 

Next week we are reading the Julia Donaldson book "Room on the Broom". We will continue to think about types of weather including windy weather.

Your child will have bought home some counting activities you can try at home. When your child counts accurately and reliably 1:1, you can try adding 2 groups of objects together.
Have fun!
