Term 3, Week 4

This week our focus was Chinese New Year. The children were very engaged with their learning and enjoyed creating Chinese lanterns, tried a range of different foods and enjoyed role-playing at their very own Chinese restaurant with menus and chopsticks.

In Maths we have been looking at 6, 7 and 8. We represented the different numbers using pictures of the number shown on fingers, a tens frame and dice. We then looked at the composition of 6, 7 and 8. We used ten frames to create a number for our partner to identify. We also played a beanbag game to see how many we could throw into the hoop. We then looked at the two different parts of 6, 7, 8 to make a whole.

In PE we looked at holding a shape. We stretched and curled our bodies into different shapes, looking at big and small.

In PHSE we revisited our learning on emotions and how we feel when we encounter a challenge. The children changed their self-regulation names on our chart in class and we discussed how important it is to speak about our emotions. We practised some grounding techniques to calm ourselves and spoke about our calming area.  

On Thursday we had a lovely afternoon for our cultural day. Thank you to all the parents that were able to come and spend time making some cultural art and crafts. The food tasting was great and it was lovely to see a range of cultural food for the children to try. They were amazing and all gave it a go! Thank you for your continued support.

Have a lovely weekend,

The EYFS Team.
