This week in Dove class @FP we have been focusing on the story ‘After the Storm’ by Nick Butterworth.

This children have been describing the characters and the setting in the story and retelling the story to others.

In maths we have been learning how to count on from a given number as well as using manipulative to find out what 1 more looks like. We have also looked at 1 less than a given number and have been singing songs such as ‘5 cheeky monkeys’ and ‘5 little speckled frogs’.

In art this week, we have been looking at the artist Pier Mondrian and his style of art using squares, rectangles, lines and blocks of colour.

We were also very lucky this week to participate in a workshop that was based around the story of ‘Merlin’. The children learned a new song and played a stop and freeze game.

Thank you to those parents who sent in baby photos. The children have absolutely loved looking at the photos and trying to guess who the pictures belong to and discussing how we have changed.

We kindly remind parents to bring in book backs on a Monday and Tuesday for your children’s books to be changed.
