This week we are exploring these shapes; circle, square, rectangle, semi-circle, triangle, hexagon, pentagon and their properties.

This week in maths we are finding one less. We start off with objects then move on to pictorial prompts to support our learning.
  

We went on an Autumn walk, over to the forest. We spoke about all the things we could see, and discussed how the season was changing. We looked at the leaves, and spoke about how they looked/felt. We then created a piece of natural art work-using the leaves. 

Working in our family groups, we created nests for the owls. We spoke about where birds live, and what natural objects they were made of. We love learning outdoors!

The children spent a lovely afternoon in the forest, making owl babies from natural materials. We spoke about the colour, shape and size of the leaves we used to create our artwork. We then read the story together, encouraging the children to join in with repeated refrain: ” I want my mommy!”

This week our text is “Owl Babies.”  Watch the story with your child.  Talk to your child about what happens.  How do the owls feel at the start of the story?  How do they feel at the end?  Why?
