PRE-RECEPTION
We have had yet another busy week in Pre-Reception!
In Maths, the children have been matching buttons, wellies and towers. They are starting to solve ‘odd one out’ problems. This involves deeper thinking and is quite challenging for the children.
This week we have read Matin Waddell’s ‘Owl Babies’. The children have made an owl, and we have been thinking about how the owls feel in the story. Being able to talk about their own emotions is a skill we are constantly working on in class. Discussing the owls’ emotions helps the children to develop empathy for others.
In Phonics, we have continued to develop the children’s ability to ‘tune into sound’ by using body percussion and instruments to mimic sounds that they may hear around their houses. This also has a personal, social and emotional development aspect as we encourage the children to stand up and talk about their family.
In our Jigsaw PSHE lesson, which supports the children’s personal, social and emotional development, we have worked on taking turns, sharing, and considering each other’s feelings.
The children are working hard to learn the lyrics and tunes to their harvest festival songs.
