Hedgehogs/Friendships

Butterflies 

Butterflies this week have been looking at hedgehogs as part of our Autumn topic.

We have been doing the following:

Looking at what happens to hedgehogs when they are scared and talking about our feelings

Making Hedgehog bread

Developing our scissor skills through snipping spikes on our own hedgehogs

In Letters and Sounds, we have been focusing on environmental sounds and playing noisy neighbour.

Caterpillars

Caterpillars this week have been looking at friendships as well as taking part in lots of autumnal activities

We have been doing the following:

Talking about kind hands, we went on a Autumn walk and made some beautiful pictures from the leaves and twigs we found. We have been looking at strengthening our hand muscles through pegging hedgehogs!

Phonics

At preschool, we follow the Phase 1 scheme. Please find below some ideas that you can do at home to help support your child's learning with this. 

• Environmental sounds- Go out into your garden, and listen for a few moments. Ask your child what they can hear.

• I spy- This is a really lovely activity to do as it helps your child to hear initial sounds. 

• Jolly Phonics- These can be found on Youtube and are a brilliant resource.

• Geraldine the Giraffe- This is another Youtube page but it is great to help with phonics and is rather funny!!!

• Rhyming Books- These are a great way to help with phonics and literacy skills.
