12 March 2010 BRAND NEW WELSH GAME! (Nursery and Reception voices)

 

 

Our Pets

Our topic for this term means that some of our pets have been in to visit!  If you would like to bring your pet in after half term, please come and see me. 


 Forest School Session 1

 

During our first session we put on our wellies and went out to the log cirle. 

First of all we had to learn the very important log circle rules.  We then closed our eyes and listened to the sounds of the great outdoors.  The birds made the most 'noise' so we decided to focus on them in our next few lessons. 

 

 Forest School Session 2

 

Today it was raining so we wore our waterproof suits.  Putting them on independently was a real challenge, but we did it!

Following on from last weeks session, we reinforced the log circle rules and listened to the sounds of birds.  We concentrated on the fact that all birds sound different.  We learnt that a blackbird sounds different to a blue tit etc.

 

We then played un, dau, tri, ble rwyt ti? Which is a bit like hide and seek in Welsh.

 


Forest School Session 3

 

This week we made homes for birds.  We learnt that their homes were called nests and they were made in the shape of circles.  We looked at the materials birds use to make them before we set about making our own.


We have been celebrating Chinese New Year

 

This year is Chinese Year of the Tiger - raaarr!  We enjoyed listened to the story of how the animals were placed in order.

 

We then made a huge class lion to use at the end of the week in our Chinese New Year celebrations.  We also made a lot of individual items, including laisee pockets, fans, dragons and lanterns.  To enhance our free play opportunities we had a chinese pincer game, red water, rice (instead of sand), chinese materials to make clothing, and lots more. 

Tasting Chinese Food
 

As part of our Chinese New Year celebrations we have been tasting chinese foods.  We had noodles and rice to eat with chopsticks, which was great fun, as well as prawn crackers with sweet and sour sauce and fortune cookies.  


 

We have been celebrating St David's Day. 

Look at us in our Welsh costumes.

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

During January we had so much snow, we wanted to do something with it.  We had already been sledging and built snowmen at home, so we decided to paint it!  It was great fun painting our footprints, painting snowmen, flicking paint and much much more.  Have a look at the photos of us enjoying ourselves.

September 2009


Recently, we sat down as a class and decided on some rules to help keep us safe and happy in school.  All of these  rules were suggested by the children, however i have helped them with the wording.....


 Our Class Rules

 

1. We always try to be kind to our friends.

2. We try to share and take turns.

3. We always listen to each other.

4. We always walk inside the classroom.

 

Our Behaviour Board - an explanantion!

 


At the start of every session, all of the children have their photograph in the good as gold area. If you break one of our class rules, you get a reminder.  If you break the rules again you get placed 'on the line' between the yellow and blue areas.  This usually helps children realise they have done wrong and they change their behaviour. 
 
However if a child continues to break the rules their photograph gets placed in the blue to show that they have made me and the rest of the class feel sad.  When you are 'in the blue' you must follow our class rules to earn your way back into the 'good as gold.' 
 
  
 
Week Beginning 28th September

 

 

This week we will be starting our healthy snack.  Please can you provide a 75p per week contribution to cover the cost.

This week we celebrated Book Week.  Some of the children brought they favourite books in to show the class.  We sang lots of nursery rhymes and on friday we all dressed up as book characters.  We all had great fun.
 

 

 

Week Beginning 21st September

 

 Thank you for another great week, i appreciate how difficult it is for some parents to leave their children with us when they are upset, but it is great that you have had the trust and confidence to so.  I promise they do stop crying when you have left!  I have taken loads of photos to show you how happy they are in my class.  These will be uploaded in the next couple of days, so please look back again soon.

 

Week beginning 14th September


Thank you for all of the support you have given us this week.  We have had an amazing week and the children are settling really well. We have enjoyed listening to stories, singing nursery rhymes and making lots of new friends.

 

 

Below i have uploaded some photos of your children for you to browse.  If you get chance please have a look and if at all possible give us a shout on the guestbook.  It is always great to receive feedback.
