Week Commencing 14th November 2016

20/11/2016

​This week we have been busy fundraising for “Children in need”. Each day the children have been making cakes to sell at the end of the session and we are delighted to have raised over £80.  Many of the children came in dressed up as their favourite characters and we have welcomed princesses, superheroes and even a penguin.
 
The weather has been very windy which has meant that our garden has almost disappeared under a sea of leaves.  This created some wonderful games of kicking, throwing and rolling around.  We also enjoyed sweeping and collecting the leaves, however the carefully collected piles have been blown away almost as fast as we can clear them.
 
Puzzles have been popular this week.  These give the opportunity to work together in small teams to complete them.  This aids co-operation, turn taking and communication, as well as the mathematical skill of recognising and matching shapes.
 
We have been learning how to weigh objects this weeks using our scales, using small plastic figured to try and get the scales to balance.  The children have continued to look at weight and measures through weighing out the ingredients to make cakes.
 
We have celebrated two birthdays this week and were delighted to enjoy the cakes given to the children by the birthday boy and girls families.  Yum yum!!

Ideas to continue this weeks fun at home
 
Bake some cakes together and encourage your child to weigh out the ingredients
