We have had such a lovely first week back and have been settling in to Lilac Class over the past three days. We have used Mighty Writer to share our Summer holiday news, created our own artwork and enjoyed a wonderful personal care afternoon. We have been making new friends and getting to know our classroom routines.

Lilac Class have had a very busy week this week. We have started our new topic ‘My World, My Story’ and enjoyed a story called ‘My World, Your World’. We have shared our likes and interests and even painted to a music piece called ‘The Planets’. We had our first educational visit to Skelmersdale Library and enjoyed looking at some books. We also made our own self portraits, identifying our different facial features and looking at how we are all different.

This week we have continued with our topic and discussed what we would like to be when we are older. We had some fantastic aspirations such as fire fighters, vets and YouTubers. Some of our children visited The Hub for breakfast and it was wonderful to support West Lancs High School on their new venture, we look forward to other children visiting in the next few weeks. A big thank you to all who came for our McMillan coffee morning, we had such a wonderful time and Lilac Class won the Kingsbury Bake Off with our ‘Sumptuous Mars Mallow Traybake’. A huge well done to all of our children for baking such a delicious treat!

This week we have learned about some natural disasters in Geography and we listened to tornado sounds whilst drawing our own tornadoes. We have been on an Autumn walk to find Autumnal themed items and were pleasantly surprised by how many items we found in our school grounds. We have used the items within our class provision and have enjoyed sorting and grouping as well as lots of pouring and scooping!

This week we have created our very own Autumnal watercolour masterpieces. We listened to Vivaldi’s ‘Autumn’ from ‘The Four Seasons’ and used water colours to paint Autumn leaves which we found in school. Please check out our beautiful work on Tapestry. We are very proud of these. We have been developing our money skills within our class tuck shop, buying the pancakes that we made within our Maths session. We also had a very exciting visit to Withy Grove Park. It was so much fun and we were superstars at sharing the equipment.

This week we had a visit to Roby Mill Pumpkin Patch. We developed our sensory and gross motor skills to lift pumpkins and place them in the wheelbarrow. We used communication boards to talk about different colours and what the pumpkins felt like. Some of us even incorporated Maths skills and counted all of the pumpkins in their wheelbarrow. We feel ready for a week of Halloween fun next week!
