Our topic this term is 'I wonder'... who we are? As we explore our new setting, new friends and new teachers, we also discover things about ourselves. This term we will be embracing our talents, interests and learning about how we thrive in the immediate world around us!

This week we have continued to explore materials within our houses & homes topic. We have used various construction materials to build houses, make collages and recall aspects of the story The 3 Little Pigs.

This week we also went on our first outing on the school bus. We went to the main site to use the sensory playground, it was lots of fun!

This week we are getting seasonal with all things pumpkins and autumnal vibes. Our story this week is ‘we’re going on a pumpkin hunt’ - ‘We can’t go over them, we can’t go under them’, we have to go through them!’ This is a fun adaptation of a classic children’s story where the children come across cats, bats & cobwebs on their journey to find a pumpkin.

We have been exploring the sight of pumpkins, comparing the different patterns, colours and sizes of them. We also felt & smelt the pumpkin guts, describing the textures. During maths, we sung ‘5 little Pumpkins’, using mini-pumpkins to count, add & subtract.

We took our learning outside the classroom too and made our own pumpkin patch in the forest school area & made Halloween themed potions in the mud kitchen!

This week we are getting festive & celebrating Halloween! Our sensory story this week was ‘A mini Halloween adventure’. We explored props to tell the story including musical instruments, a strobe light & used a fog machine to create a spooky ambiance.

We also engaged in lots of enrichment activities with our peers from Purple class with lots of Halloween themed literacy & maths activities. We loved dressing up & dancing at our mini Halloween party & scavenger hunt.

Happy Halloween from Pink Class!
