Focus Week - The Orchard
The Orchard have had another great week!
In PE Blossom class are learning how to throw and catch a ball, jumping, counting to 10 and hoola-hoop spinning.
We also have been learning how to follow simple instructions, so we played Simon Says, and the children were very good at following them. We really enjoyed it.
Whilst learning how to follow instructions, the children made chocolate chip cookies as a class. They were supported to measure and add the correct ingredients to make the dough. They were then cooked by the adults for the children to enjoy once cooled.
This week we have been looking at the book called The Duck in the Truck and have made our own red trucks out of junk and a large one to enjoy ourselves in the classroom. The children are looking at ducks and where they live and what they eat.
Maths in Blossom has been fun, learning how to write and count to 5 to their favourite song Five little speckle frogs, whilst also using the frog teddies to jump in and out of our pretend pond.
Unfortunately, we have had a lot of indoor playtimes due to the icy and wet weather conditions. However, we have had lots of fun playing different games in the class. The children are getting very good at dominoes and are now beating the adults!
