Topic - Exploring our local environment

Last week we were exploring and learning all about the features of our local environment. The children talked about places they know and visit on the Isle of Wight, including their favourite places, shops, roads and the beach. We talked about the name of our village, Gurnard, our town Cowes and our county, the Isle of Wight, and shared ideas about places the children have visited with their families. It was lovely to hear the children talking about familiar places and recognising features that they see around them every day.

The Message Centre

This week we have been having lots of fun in our Message Centre, writing secret messages to Spider-Man and sending messages to our Class Dojos! The children have been exploring early writing through mark making, patterns and lines, using different movements and shapes to give meaning to their marks. It has been lovely to see the children becoming more confident with their pencil control and enjoying experimenting with different marks as they created their very own secret messages.

Topic - Who is Special to me

This week we have started talking all about “Who is special to me?” The children have loved sharing photographs of their families with their friends and talking about the people who are special to them. We have enjoyed listening to the children share their experiences, telling us about their families and what they like to do together. We have also been busy drawing our families, thinking carefully about who we wanted to include and adding details to our pictures. The children have really enjoyed seeing their friends’ photographs and drawings and finding out more about each other. It has been a lovely week of celebrating our families and the special people in our lives.
