Foundation Stage Blog – 3 March 2017

The Foundation Stage children have continued to explore the theme of transport this week and were excited to see the role play area transform into a car garage. We have looked at the stories of Fix it duck  and Room on the Broom, where the children were able to sequence pictures from a story and use them as a prompt when orally retelling a story to a partner.

During Maths the children recapped previous learning about doubling and then they looked at the way in which halving is the opposite of doubling. Following this we have been looking at ordering a group of objects by height/length from the shortest to the tallest/longest. The children enthusiastically explored how to use a ruler or unifix cubes when measuring the length of different objects.

On Thursday the classrooms were filled with book characters as the children celebrated World Book Day. It was fantastic to see the children talking about which character they were and which story they were from.

This week the children received their first school ‘library book’ and ‘free choice’ book, please can these be kept in the children’s book bag, along with their yellow reading diaries, each day.
