A big thank you to everyone who managed to come along to our parent drop in session on Tuesday. It was so lovely to see you.
This week we have started to make our Advent Prayer Station. Advent Stations are a prayer journey that helps us prepare for Christ's birth. Our contribution to the whole school will be Mary setting out on the journey to Bethlehem.
The Travelling Nativity is still winding it’s way towards your home, everyone will get a turn before we break for Christmas.
Meet Two!
Another one
One discovers it’s tricky to play tennis when you’re the only block in the world. She bumps into a magic mirror and meets another One- and they join forces to make Two. Click here to watch.
Two
Two finds a pair of magic dancing shoes and shows One that everything is better with 2, singing, counting things that belong in pairs. Click here to watch.
We learnt:
Counting to 2
The ‘Twoness’ of two
How to write two- one curve down is what to do, then straight across to make a two. Have a go at home but don’t forget the duck fingers!

Hello everyone,
The cold weather is definitely here now, but that doesn't stop the children playing and learning outside. We are starting to have a go at zipping or buttoning our coats up by ourselves. We know it can be tricky, but by having a go, it is a step closer to them putting their coats on independently. Here is a video you can watch together and practice. Good luck. Click here.
To continue with our learning thread about our bodies, we have been looking at why it's important to wash our hands before eating, after using the toilet, or just when our hands are dirty from doing everyday activities. This is to help the children understand the importance of keeping our hands free from germs. We did an experiment where I used a bowl of water and sprinkled pepper on the top to represent the germs, then by adding washing up liquid on our fingers (which represented the soap on their hands), the children dipped their fingers into the water. The pepper (germs) moved away from their fingers which we told them was like when you have washed your hands using soap and warm water, all of the germs go away. It's amazing to see, so have a go at home. Here is the video about germs. Click here. and here.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone. Wrap up warm when your out and about, and I will see you all on Monday.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog
This week we have taken some time to consolidate some of our previous learning. We have continued to learn how to care for our teeth in our very own dentist. We have explored and discussed which foods are good choices for our bodies and our teeth. I have been impressed with the children's knowledge about healthy eating. I'm sure you will be amazed with their knowledge too, if you ask your child which foods are bad choices and should only be eaten as treats occasionally.
This week we met Numberblock two. We have learnt that one plus another one is two. We have investigated and explored pairs of two. We had to sort out the washing, all the socks had got mixed up. The children worked hard to find the right ones to make a pair. This is a good game to play at home. Get them to match the socks after laundry day.
Another busy week and more planned for next week.
Have a lovely weekend
Michelle
