Longer days are nearly here...

 As always, we have been super busy in Early Years! This term our topic is Land, Sea & Sky and we have been looking at different animals and the world around us. We have read a lot of different stories including Handa's Suprise, Baby Goes to Market, Rainbow Fish & Sharing a Shell. These books have helped us to see similarities and differences between places and people as well as learning some important things about friendship and sharing.

We are still keeping a track of how our year is going and thinking about the seasons and the weather. We have started to see some early signs of spring on our way to school and in our outdoor area - it has been nice to have some slightly warmer days! So far this half term, we have talked about some different celebrations such as St David's Day & St Patrick's Day - it has been fun to learn about things that are important to different poeple.



In our maths work, we are becoming number experts and can find lots of different ways to make other numbers. When we looked at number 8, lots of children made spiders and octopus creations with the correct number of legs. We have been using a 10s frame to help us see different quantities and work out how many more we would need to fill up the frame. Numberblocks is a firm favourite in Early Years - Octoblock seems to be lots of children's favourite character from the show. 



We are continuing to work on our fine motor skills to keep our hands strong and supple to be ready for writing - Maple Class recently enjoyed weaving different materials into the number frames! As the half term goes on we are looking forward to talking about even more types of celebration and having longer, warmer days. 😎
