Our November theme is ‘Winter and The Arctic’. We are enjoying learning about winter aswell as exploring what life is like for the Inuit people who live in the arctic.
We have started to learn how to write our first letter using our cursive letter formation, the letter c. We have been working very hard and practising every day.
Here is a video of how to form the letter c
We had a super day at school dressed up in our costumes. There was lots of excitement in the classroom in the morning as we got to see each other all dressed up!! For our Oral Language time we created group spooky stories and performed the story for the rest of the class. We really enjoyed transforming our classroom into a cinema to watch the animated version of ‘Room on the broom’.
Our Aistear activities for October were as follows:
Pumpkin Soup (Sensory Play)
Our Roleplay Corner: ‘The Witches and Wizards Shop’
Small World: Room on the Broom
Our Spooky Halloween Village
Arts & Crafts
We had a halloween theme for our maths week stem activities. Our activities were:
There was great competition to see which group could build the longest witches broomstick!
We were so happy that Friday stayed dry and we were able to go and enjoy the playground… it has been a few weeks since we were there!!
There was a lot of excitement last week when the children started their first week of our Halloween Aistear activities. We have four stations and we will all get a turn at each one over the coming weeks 😊😊
We have really been enjoying the fabulous ‘Room on the Broom’ story and it has given us lots of inspiration. Last week we made our own version of the witch, we then used our sequencing skills to make her broomstick with the characters from the story. We also have a small world version of this book for Aistear.
We have been busy making art for our new Halloween Theme for October. We were very proud of our pumpkins. We made them independently without any template. They are all different and that’s why we like them so much!
