Our topic this half term is '999, What's Your Emergency?’

In September, we like to spend a couple of weeks getting to know the children, finding out their interests and their strengths. It is an important time for children as they get to know their new classroom, teachers, peers and the rules and routines. 
 

As part of our topic '999, What's Your Emergency?', we were very excited to welcome the fire fighters from our local fire department!

The children enjoyed meeting the crew, learning all about fire safety and seeing their special protective gear. As well as this, we all had lots of fun getting to squirt the fire hoses which was definitely a favourite moment. 

Remember, remember the 5th November!

We will be learning about firework safety and developing our fine motor skills whilst creating firework art. 

During in topic this week, we began by looking at some images of fireworks and sharing our experiences of bonfire night and fireworks. We listened to some music and talked about the instruments we could hear and how the music made us feel. Then, we enjoyed exploring different ways of moving like fireworks including, running, crouching down, jumping up and spinning around.  

This week we made fruit rockets! We began by discussing the importance of being healthy and how we could do this. We then carefully chopped the fruit and created our fruit rocket kebabs! 

Colourful Semantics

We are starting our Literacy journey by learning to use colourful semantics to develop our speaking skills. We have been learning to create ‘who + what doing?’ sentences.
