Lollipop Pheasant

This book has lovely illustrations and reminded us how important it is to cross the road safely.  We learnt a song which taught us to 'Stop, Think, Listen and Look' before  we cross the road.  We then went out on our balance bikes and followed a road track, stopping when the 'Lollipop Person' held up their sign to stop the traffic.  We also practised walking safely along the pavement (round the track of the field) before going out on an adventure to the meadow.  All the children that went listened really well, walked very sensibly, and enjoyed playing under the oak tree.  Thank you to Mrs Grey, who kindly accompanied us on Monday.

We looked at shapes, i.e. circle, triangle, square and rectangle, studying their properties, similarities and differences before going into the playground and playing a game where the children had to run to the shape that was called out.  One of the children pointed out that a circle was like a wheel, so we then tested rolling different shapes before we agreed that a circle was the best shape for the job.  This led to us rolling hoola hoops which was great fun.

One of the children was keen to read the story of the very hungry caterpillar. We then decided to us experiment with coloured powder paint to create symmetrical butterfly.  We have also been practising our abc song.
