Autumn Term 2023 |
|
We have all enjoyed settling into Devonshire Infants and have been very busy making new friends and learning new routines.

Owl BabiesDuring the first half term, we read the book ‘The Owl Babies’ by Martin Waddell. We used ‘Talk for Writing’ to help us learn the story off by heart. First we drew a story map and then we made up our own actions and performed the story as a whole class. The actions really helped us to remember the story. |

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 and we followed our story map and then used actions to help us remember the story. We enjoyed learning new and old rhymes..
|
| We looked at historical artefacts that might have been found in the kitchen of the Nursery Rhyme character, Old Mother Hubbard. |

Friendship Week

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. |

 |
KandinskyDuring the second half term 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. |
