Settled in!

 Everybody is so pleased at how well Early Years have settled in now they have nearly completed their first half term at school. We have been learning our first sounds in phonics - by the end of the half term we will have introduced 's, a, t, p, i, n'. We have been reading different fairytales and practising retelling them by acting them out and using story maps.

We have been practising our letters in different ways.

The children have been helping to make props and decorations for our new roleplay area.

We have been practising teamwork with our new friends.

The children have asked to do some work with Spiderman so we added him to the writing area which got lots of children involved in mark making.

Another exciting addition to Early Years are our Curiosity Cubes. We have been adding different things to these and placing them by the snack area to encourage the children to have discussions with each other. This has helped generate lots of new vocabulary.
