The children’s imaginations have come alive this week through story themed activities based around ‘Fairy tales’. We started by reading the story of Cinderella and throughout the week children have engaged in a variety of activities linked to the story. These included story sequencing, writing sentences about the story and writing invitations for their very own party. Some children took their imaginations outside to build Cinderella’s carriage with horses, whilst other children took on the role of Cinderella to tidy the FS area both inside and outside. We talked about the parts of a story and the features of a fairy tale, which led to the children going on a fairy tale book hunt during their independent learning.
During Maths the children have developed their problem solving skills through practical activities where they looked at sharing golden coins fairly, predicting what would happen if… (e.g. what would happen if I add one more toy in the box?) doubling numbers up to five and solving addition problems using dice.
When we went to the ICT room this week the children learnt about e-safety to celebrate National E-Safety Day on Tuesday 7th February. We watched E-safety videos and read E-safety stories, which the children used as inspiration to create their own picture of ‘Smartie the Penguin’ using 2Simple 2Publish software.
The children learnt a song about e-safety:
Before you click, click, click.
You’ve got to think, think, think…
And tell someone!
The Foundation Stage staff hope all the children have a lovely, restful half term.
