The children have been getting to know our Oxford Reading Tree characters through role play. The children have been having to remember character names, their role in the family to create their own stories about the Robinson family.

Our Family Wall
Our Ducklings family wall looks amazing. It has been lovely for the children to talk about their photos and know their families are displayed for them to look at. Thank you to everyone who has emailed photos and if you haven't had chance, we still have some room!

Gross motor fun
Using large tools such as sweeping brushes helps to develop our gross motor skills which in turn will eventually lead to helping to develop our fine motor skills for things such as writing! We had fun in the sun today, sweeping the soapy water.

Making Silly Soup
In Phonics this week we have learned new sounds s, a and t. The children were asked to think about the initial sounds in words from a wide collection of objects, choose an object and add it to the silly soup. This is an excellent way to focus on initial sounds and the children love making the soup…

FUnky Fingers
The Ducklings have been busy practising doing up and undoing shirt buttons. They are getting faster all the time. It is easier to practise when they are not wearing their shirt. It is quite tricky when they are still wearing it!

Underarm throw
The Ducklings have been learning how to throw underarm at a target. It is quite tricky to remember to put the opposite leg to your throwing arm forward and to swing your arm behind you when you throw. Well done Ducklings. Another lovely day in the sun for PE too!

Getting ready for PE
The Ducklings are getting much better at undoing and doing up their buttons for themselves when getting ready for PE. Keep practising this at home when you get dressed and undressed every day too.

Herb soup
We are learning about the sense of smell this week. We have harvested some herbs from our garden and have been using scissors to snip the herbs and make our own 'herb soup.' The children have enjoyed using their sense of smell to investigate each of the different herbs.

Silly soup!
Only objects beginning with our special sound can go in our soup. Today's sound was the letter 't. The boys put a toothbrush, a turtle, a teddy and a tiger in the soup.
