Week Commencing 21st November 2016

1/12/2016

We have been reading a variety of stories this weeks, in particular one called The Tiger Who Came To Tea.  The tiger comes to Sophies' house and eats all the food, drinks all the water from the tap and leaves them with nothing for their tea.  The story produced some lively discussions about what we could do if a tiger really did come to our house and what we could feed them.  In fact some of the children were quite insistent that they are regularly visited by tigers and lions so perhaps we had all better look out for some giant tins of tiger food just in case!
 
We have been learning our Christmas songs for the nativity so please look out for a copy of these in your childs tray and on the website and facebook page so we can all sing them together. 
 
There have been some very inventive models made from small lego this week.  It is always lovely to see how the “old favourite toys” continue to educate and give pleasure to the children from generation to generation.  We can learn so much from working together with what are essentially small plastic bricks.  Construction, shapes, problem solving, balance, communication, design and architecture.
 
The week ended with some lively games in the garden using the plastic hoops.  The children were bending them to try and make them spring into the air.  This turned into a game of giant hoopla or “try and catch the adult!).  Great fun.

Words we have learned this week:

Enormous

Ideas to continue this weeks fun at home:
 
Practise the nativity songs together
