Pumpkin soup

Parents,
Last week the children really enjoyed the owl babies story, it was so nice to see so many of the children acting out the story with the owl puppets.

So this week we have decided to use another Autumn style book, it is called Pumpkin soup and continues on with our focus on feelings, and how things sometimes make us sad, worried, frightened, happy, pleased etc. some of the children have made a lovely display and have been writing the words, do find time to have a look.  It also reminds us of how important it is to be nice and kind to our friends.(PSED, PD).

Within our focus of the pumpkin soup book as many children as can will be making pumpkin soup this week, using our pumpkins, onions and carrots from our garden, that the children planted in the summer. (UW, PD)

The children will also be making an Autumn collage using the colours in the book and another book called Autumn by Gerda Miller.

We also hope for a windy day to make some kites (UW, EAD)

We will be continuing with our counting and recognising written numerals with games and puzzles (MD)

Last week I sent out some books to share at home with the family, please pass the book on when you have finished with it so everyone can have a go, each book has to pass around 6 or 7 families so don't worry one will be coming your way, do write a comment about the story, if you enjoyed it etc, all comments are valuable to us.

Don't forget our stay and play on 23rd, and 24th October 8.30 - 9.05 and 5th Nov 8.30 - 9.05.
Do sign your name for one of the sessions on the yellow sheets in the corridor.
