We explored birthdays and played parties, made playdough cakes with the correct number of candles and made real birthday cupcakes with pretend candles. We have shared lots of birthday stories and used our scissor and tape skills to wrap presents. In phonics we played a big game of pass the parcel.

We have been talking about our families, drawing pictures of ourselves and making faces. We have been exploring emotions through stories and have introduced the children to the Zones of Regulation. What a fun week!

Autumn 1 Week 3: This week we have been making our own maracas and learning to play play them and listen for 'stop', learning the names of jungle animals and role playing Walking Through the Jungle.
