Good morning Froglets! This is the book we are focussing on at the moment – enjoy!

I wonder what your favourite colour is and why? 🙂

This lovely book is the focus of our learning for the next 3 weeks. It is all about colours and the ‘Wow’ of our natural world 🙂 Find it on YouTube if you don’t have the book at home – enjoy!

Mrs Trendall is a member of our support staff who can usually be found in Oak Class in Reception. We’d like to welcome her to our Froglets team as she comes to help us out when Mrs Knight or Mrs West need to be out of class.

We have loved learning about fireworks this week. We have watched them online and listened to the different sounds they make. We made sparklers and a collaborative piece of art using chalks, paint and lots of glitter! We had glittery black playdough and used sparkly pipe cleaners to practice our threading skills.

Today we marked Remembrance Day by making poppies! We made some to take home using a sponge and our fingerprints for the black middle. We also made a beautiful wreath for our gate. We talked about why we think about people who died in the war on this day and watched a lovely video from CBeebies.

(If you search for ‘CBeebies Poppies’ you can find it online.)

Thank you all for your wonderful family portraits! We still have lots of space so if you need to add yours please bring it in next week.

This week we have been focusing on Fireworks as the start of our 1/2 term topic focussed on ‘Wow!’ We loved watching them on the board and talking about how they sound and the colours we saw. We have started creating a large collaborative piece of artwork… Watch this space see it next week when it is complete!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

We have continued our learning around the question… ‘who lives in my house’ this week by painting houses and thinking about the shapes needed for doors, windows and the roof. We have also talked about the number on our door at home. We have continued to think about who lives in my family and have used our binoculars to ‘Peepo!’ our friends. We hope you like our work!

On a Tuesday afternoon while Mrs Knight has some time to plan and prepare the lovely Mr Morgan comes to Froglets! He often brings some exciting PE equipment for us to play with in preparation for PE lessons in Reception.

This week we have been reading the story ‘Peepo!’ We have enjoyed looking at the pictures in the book and joining in with the repeated phrases used to tell the story. We have also made binoculars to ‘Peepo!’ through them to see what we can see… we even spotted cows in the Orchard and a stripy cat who got stuck up the tree!

This is our Class Charter. We have all added our handprints to ‘agree’ to the statements and we will be looking at this over the next few weeks together in class. We have the right… to be happy, to be safe, to be healthy and to learn. We have the responsibility… to listen, to respect others, to make the right choice and to be kind. These statements all link in to the UNICEF articles we focus on fro our Rights Respecting Schools initiative.
