Another wonderful week in Rabbits Class! We have been very adventurous this week, trying lots of new and exciting activities…

We had lots of fun taking part in Bucket Time this week. We all showed good looking and good listening!

We have been exploring new sounds in RWI this week. We have been listening carefully to the initial sounds in words and worked together to match pictures with their initial sounds. Fantastic work Rabbits!

We enjoyed making chocolate milk this week. We used an ALD board to select our ingredients, counted carefully how many spoons or drops of each ingredient we needed. We used a whisk sensibly to combine all of our ingredients to make a yummy cup of chocolate milk!

We had lots of fun playing listening games with the parachute

We enjoyed our first swimming trip this term! All the rabbits were so happy to be back in the water again. Everyone showed such good looking and listening, which is so important to keep us safe in the pool.

We enjoyed music with Bev. We used the glockenspiels to explore sounds that are the same and different.

We ended the week having a lovely time in the forest with our friends. We took our snacks outside and had a picnic together to enjoy the sunshine! ☀️

Henry is our star of the week!
We are absolutely thrilled with how much Henry’s speech has improved this week, it has been so lovely to hear Henry’s voice every day this week! We are so very proud of you Henry!❤️

What a fantastic week we have had in Rabbits! We are so incredibly proud of all of our children this week – they have all tried so hard with all of our activities and have made such super progress.

We have enjoyed some super “bucket” sessions this week. Our favourite was watching the explosions, we thought it was like a volcano!🌋

We loved music with Bev this week! We tried hard to follow the beat and tempo using a variety of different percussion instruments. Super listening this week!👏👍👏

We had so much fun exploring the forest this week. Amirhan and Archie love to find a tree to climb – a perfect place to spot your friends while they’re playing!🌳

Bucket time later in the week was focussed on cause and effect. We all got a bit messy, but we think that’s the best bit!

Archie is our Star of the Week!
He has shown such enthusiasm to take part in bucket sessions. It’s been so special to hear so much laughter this week, Archie! ❤️
Sharon, Jemma, Jade and Adele are so proud of you this week for your fantastic talking. You should be so proud of yourself, Archie – you’re amazing! 😍

Don’t forget Rabbits will be going swimming on a Thursday for the next half term🏊‍♂️
Please remember to send your child into school with a complete swimming kit.

We wish all of our families a well deserved, restful break.
❤️Lots of love Adele, Sharon, Jade and Jemma❤️

Rabbits class – week commencing 13th May

We have been taking part in Write Dance sessions this week . These sessions help us with our body awareness and understanding of direction of travel for writing our sounds. Here we are practising our “lazy 8” drawings. They help to develop cross body movements and bilateral control.

We enjoy using the upside down goggles during our morning sessions. We have to think very carefully about our instructions as the goggles make everything seem upside down… we practised slowly pouring water from one cup into another, it was tricky but very satisfying when we did it!

During our cooking session, we made a range of tasty dips. We enjoyed mashing the avocado to to make guacamole and had fun squeezing the limes to make a yummy dip to scoop om

What a wonderful week in Rabbits class!

We have enjoyed developing our cooking and food preparation skills this week. We all used a cheese grater for the first time To make our cheesy wraps. We also used a knife very carefully, to cut slices of cucumber to add to our wraps. For dessert, we practised using small tools with control, spreading butter on our yummy fruit loaf. We added blueberries and bananas for extra sweetness!

We have worked hard to develop both our gross and fine motor control this week, taking part in lots of fun games and activities with our friends. We used the hand grabber to help us sort the coloured balls which was so much fun!
We also played “cross pass ball” with our partners. This helped us to become more aware of our cross body movements.

What a wonderful week, Rabbits!

Wishing all of our families a restful bank holiday weekend ❤️

Rabbits Class week beginning 15th April

We have had a wonderful week in Rabbits! Although the weather has been a little windy, we enjoyed our special time on the Ship Wreck at lunch time. The children showed such good sharing and took it in turns to be the Chief Pirate!

We worked hard to develop our core muscles this week which helps with our balance and stability. Here is Noah practising some fabulous crab walking!

We have also worked very hard during our phonics sessions this week – developing our letter formation and remembering the special rhymes to help us write – super trying this week Logan!

Cooking class was such fun this week! We made watermelon pizzas! The children worked hard to use the knife sensibly to cut up bananas and grapes to add to our watermelon slice. They were so juicy and yummy!

We have had an amazing last week of term in Rabbit class. Celebrating Holi!
Everyone in Rabbit Class enjoyed participating in music! Bev brought all her colourful ribbons and drum and made it a Holi celebration! Its was beautiful watching the ribbons in the air and we all had a dance and a beat of the drum!

We carried on our celebration and explored powder paints, where we got creative in art and made some colourful pictures with the paints. Our adults threw the paint in the air and it was like a colourful rainbow 🌈 .

We had lots more to celebrate this week! Its was Easter week at school. We enjoyed our Easter crafts session with some of our parents! It was lovely to see you! Thank you for coming! We were busy making paper plate chicks 🐣 and decorating ginger bread chicks. We even designed our own eggs. Look at our amazing work! We also made chocolate rice crispy cakes for Easter in cooking. Mmmmm we got to eat our tasty cakes in afternoon snack!

To finish our celebration week we celebrated our star of the week! This was Noah! Well done Noah for all your amazing work this week. We are so proud of you from everyone in Rabbit Class!

It was Comic Relief in school this week and Rabbit’s dressed in Red. We collared and made super hero masks. Look at us all in our red coloured clothes showing our support. We explored read gloop and formed our letter of the week in it. Our letter this week is ‘d’. We found lots of items beginning with this sound.

We had a wonderful time in the forest 🌳. We made more mud pies and looked for some creatures and found out where they live. We found worms and Beatles under a log and we were very brave we held the worms and watched them move on our hands.

To end our week we started to learn how to build sentences with Colour Semantics.
This helps us to build and understand sentence structure.
We made a sentence about what we want to do at the weekend with our families.
Wow you are amazing Rabbits you have worked really hard this week and we are very proud of you!

Rabbits have had a wonderful week this week enjoying stories and exploring books. Our focus story this week for world book day was Colour Monster. We leant all about our feelings and emotions. We found out what colours relate to what feeling. We focused on Green is calm and Pink is love. Everyone loved story time this week and enjoyed sensory exploration with all our coloured items. We worked on our fine motor skills when using pincers to pick and sort the coloured Pom-poms. We made a colourful pattern with our coloured scarfs and counted with our green numicon and Lego.

We completed our Wheel -a- Thon this week. We have used bikes and scooter to travel in different directions around the track.

This week we developed our maths skills and have started to create number sets 1 to 5. We used cubes to make sets of numbers. Well done Rabbits you are expanding your maths knowledge each week and are working really hard. We are so proud of you. Next week we will work on sets up to 10 Wow amazing!

To end our week we celebrated all our hard work and our star of the week is Henry!
Henry has worked really hard this week recognising all this staff members and naming them correctly. Henry has continued to vocalise more words and requesting item he would like to explore in class. Well done Henry amazing work!

Another excellent week Rabbits. You are all amazing and we are so proud. Well done!

This week we went down to the forest to explore the woods. We made mud pies and made dens with sticks! We also made music with pots and pans and used the stick as beaters. We made lots of noise and had so much fun! We really enjoyed investigating the woods and field and found lots of leaves and sticks on the floor.
We transitioned to and from the woods lovely. We worked up an appetite and enjoyed our snack once we were back on class.

Later this week in science we made ice bergs and igloos with characters inside. We used our fine motor skills and sprayed water with a spray bottle on to the ice and watched it melt. We saw how cold ice is and found out that this is where Pip-Pip lives with his friends from our story. Penguins live in the cold where there is lots of ice.

To end a wonderful week in Rabbits we celebrated all our hard work and Archie was our Star of the Week! Well done Archie you have worked really hard this week transitioning well to different parts of the school. Archie also enjoyed Maths and completed all his work. He ordered numbers 1 to 5 independently and made a number line by his self!

Wow Rabbits you are all amazing and we are very proud of you! Well done!

Rabbits have been exploring a new story this week called ‘Be brave little Penguin’ We have all really enjoyed story time at the end of each day!
We have found out that the penguins name is Pip – Pip and he lives in the Antarctic.

In cooking we made a penguin Pip-Pip made out of pancakes. We mixed all the ingredients together and worked as a great team. When our pancakes were made we got to decorate them with sauce. We really enjoyed tasting our pancakes at the end! Well done Rabbits!

Rabbits have been developing our writing skills and learnt how to form the letter ‘m’. Look at all our lovely writing in our books. We have explored items that start with the letter ‘m’ and then practiced how to form our letter in sensory rice.

Well done Rabbits we are so proud of you all, you have achieved so much this week.

Well done to our star of the week Amirhan, you have worked really hard and joined in with group sessions all week.
