Autumn Term 2024

Owl Babies

During the first half term, we read the book ‘The Owl Babies’ by Martin Waddell.

We started ‘Drawing Club’, for the first time.

We drew our own pictures and talked about them. We wrote letters to act as a ‘magic code’ which made adventures happen in our pictures.

The Little Red Hen

We read the story of The Little Red Hen.

We made bread, made a windmill with sails that could spin and created Little Red Hen collage pictures. pictures.

Nursery Rhymes

This half term we have been learning all about Nursery Rhymes.

We read the book ‘Each Peach Pear Plum’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

The book is full of Nursery Rhyme characters, like Old Mother Hubbard and Little Bo Peep.

We made up our own adventures about them in Drawing Club.

We enjoyed learning new and old nursery rhymes

We looked at historical artefacts that might have been found in the kitchen of Old Mother Hubbard.

We enjoyed trying to work out what they could have been used for.

The children were joined together with paper chains to a friend and were challenged to negotiate the obstacles around the playground without breaking their chain.

The children were encouraged to use positional language to instruct their friend where they needed to go.

Kandinsky

We learnt all about an artist called Wassily Kandinsky.

He was a Russian artist who used lines and shapes as well as colour in his art work.

We painted our own ‘concentric circles’ in the style of Kandinsky.

Christmas

We have had lots of fun preparing for Christmas. We danced and played party games at our Christmas disco and class parties.

We made decorations at our Santa’s workshop and made cards and calendars for our families.
