It has been a great week getting to know lots of new faces and making new friends. All of the new children have settled in wonderfully and the children who have come back after Christmas have been fantastic at helping their new friends to settle in. We have started our new topic Once Upon A Time, during which we have been learning the story of The Gingerbread Man. Some of our favourite activities this week have been using tweezers and pom poms to give gingerbread men buttons, decorating our own gingerbread man and retelling the story. In maths we have continued our learning to numbers 4 and 5, we have been practising subitising and counting with 1:1 correspondence. Well done to all of our children, old and new, for a fantastic first week of the year!
