Newsletter 11.11.16

Here are this week's highlights:


* In line with nursery rhyme week, we have been learning 'Incy Wincy Spider' and 'Little Miss Muffet' this week. The children have been joining in singing and reciting the rhymes and doing the actions at the same time as part of our 'Talk for Writing'.






For some children, they were able to draw their own story map of 'Incy Wincy Spider'. Here are some of their fantastic drawings:











* For our creative activity, we tried marble painting this week. Children enjoyed shaking the basket and seeing the marbles leave marks on their paper. In the end, we had amazing spider webs and we also added 'Incy Wincy' on them. 




* We have also made our very own kinetic sand with sand, cornflour, water and food colour. The children had fun mixing the ingredients and using the knives and moulds as they play with it. Please see recipe on the Messy Play page.




* For ICT, we have been encouraging children to draw on the Interactive Whiteboard using the Activ Inspire software. Most of the children were able to manipulate the IWB pen and use it to click on their chosen colours.





* This morning, we had a visit from Mr Andy Gleadhill, an educator and professional percussionist. He is currently here with us to hold percussion workshops to all classes. He gladly let the children played with an array of instruments and encouraged them to do various beats. Please see video below.
