Nursery - Music - Identifying Different Instrument Sounds
During our Listening and attention lesson the children have been identifying different sounds. First we learnt the names of the instruments and how to play them, listening to the sounds that each instrument made. The children then used their brilliant listening skills to identify a hidden instrument just by the sound it made! In our busy classroom this was a little bit tricky but the children did a great job and were able to distinguish between the environmental sounds and the target instrument sound. They then mimicked the sound they heard on the corresponding instrument on their side of the barrier. Well done Nursery class!
Year 4 English - Drama
In English, we got to act as the characters Gulliver and Fig to help us understand them - it was lots of fun!
Nursery - Maths - Literacy - Pattern Matching And Tracing
This week, Nursery class have been looking at different patterns. The children were given a pattern that they had to match with the ones shown on the board. They were then tasked with describing what they could see, zig zag, bubbles, rainbow, dots, cross etc. They were then challenged to trace their patterns on the board with their fingers, we have continued this learning in provision as the children have been exploring drawing their patterns at the craft table and on the ground in our outdoor area with chalk. Well done everybody.
