Cogges Farm 

We had a lovely time on our trip to Cogges Farm, this was based all around our story The Little Red Hen. 
We found eggs, planted wheat, ground wheat to flour, made bread and had a surprise puppet show at the end. 

The children were brilliant through the whole trip and did the school proud with their amazing behaviour. 

The children were all excited to go home with a bread roll and their planted wheat.

labelling body parts 

As part of our marvellous me topic we looked at the book Wise about my body. This helped us to look at the parts of our body. The children all took part in a circle time where we sang the song head shoulders knees and toes followed by drawing around a child and labelling the body parts. 

Magic Dough 

We enjoyed a lovely circle time that focused on helping the children settle into their new classroom as well as helping build their fine motor muscles. 

We read a poem about the magic play dough and how if it changed colour it meant we would have a good year. The children all took it in turns to make a wish and then after three we all squeezed our play dough to see if it would change colour. 

Welcome to kingfishers!

we have had a wonderful start to the year! The children have all settled brilliantly and learnt the new class room routines and expectations so quickly. This week we introduced our first core text The Colour Monster. Through this book we have explored the different emotions and the colours we link to these. We have done many circle times and talked about our emotions. The children have also taken part in yoga and a focused activity of drawing self portraits.
