Rockets and Stars

Hello Shooting Stars and Roaring Rockets! Here are some activities that we will be trying this week.

This week we are talking about the season ‘Autumn’. What can we see in Autumn? What do we wear? What autumn foods are there? We will be going on an Autumn walk around our FSU garden and collecting leaves. Have a look around your garden too. Take a close look at the leaves and what colours you can see.

Craft – After having a close look at Autumn leaves and colours, have a go at making your own Autumn picture. In school we are printing autumn leaves with broccoli!

Pumpkins! We are also exploring pumpkins this week. Cut open a pumpkin and have a look what you can see. This is a great talking activity. Ask your child how it feels and what it smells like. Grab some large cooking spoons from the kitchen and scoop out the inside. Perhaps you can use the seeds for counting?

Shape – We are working on recognising 2D shapes. Have a look at the shape mat below. Look at the square, rectangle, circle and triangle. How many sides do they have? Are the sides the same size? Go for a shape hunt around the house to find these shapes. If your child recognises these 4 shapes, challenge them to have a look at the other shapes.

Here are some fun RE and PE activities from Mrs Donovan

We’ve been looking at churches for the past few weeks. This week I’d like you to have a think about what things are in the inside of a church. You might remember seeing some things during our trips to Priory church together.

Have a look at these pictures and talk to an adult about what you see. Choose 2 pictures and have a go at drawing them in your purple books. Make sure you look carefully at pictures and include lots of details and colour.

Lets get creative with animal movements! Have a go at this. If you are at home ask your adult to shout out the different instructions. You could mix them up and have lots of fun!
