Today we are practising our independence during maths. We are really trying hard to work out the number problems! @foxfield

We are getting ready for Year 1! We are practising our independent sentence writing at tables. We are trying really hard to use our knowledge of phonics and the resources in our environment to support our writing. @foxfield

Snails everywhere! We are so excited today to see so many snails in our garden! The children have so many questions it’s created so much wonder! Why are there so many? What do they like to eat? Why are they bubbling? @foxfield

Wow a fantastic piece of independent writing from Iylah this week. This year Iylah has really challenged herself to write extended pieces of writing and write for different purposes. She should be really proud of herself - we are! Well done Iylah! @foxfield

Wow! What amazing descriptive sentences the children have been writing this week. They have been practising their sentence writing in preparation for their published outcome - WANTED posters. We are so proud of them! @foxfield

We had great fun creating our mono-prints yesterday. We paintd bright coloured paint on tin foil, then we made different marks using our fingers and mark making tools. We printed our design onto paper! Look at the beautiful outcomes! @foxfield

Look at our delicious cottages, filled with all types of sweets and treats! They are just like the old women’s cottage from Hansel and Gretel. We used the press and lift technique to print using different shaped objects. @foxfield

This week our phonics suitcase has some key vocabulary from our story Hansel and Gretel. The children are busy matching the words to the correct picture this morning. They are also trying to write the words too! @foxfield

Today we began reading Hansel and Gretel, our core book for Arts Fortnight. Today we have been learning about the villain in our story and the sweet house she lived in. For our art today we are looking at the different shapes and patterns of sweets. @foxfield @IPAT_Edu

Today marks the beginning of Arts Fortnight. Walnut Tree Class will be focussing their art on the skill printing. Today we have been exploring printing using our fingers! @foxfield #artsfortnight2023

The children are really enjoying this sensory mark making activity this morning. It is creating some wonder and awe too... Why is it hot? How does it do that! It can disappear! @foxfield

What a beautiful day, the children are loving the warmer weather. We have lots of water play planned today to keep us cool. The children are enjoying cleaning the easel with our large sponges and cleaning the windows. This all supports their gross motor skills too. @foxfield

Miss Yanpar planned a fantastic water play activity this morning. The children loved blowing bubbles to create some art. They children were highly engaged. @foxfield

Mud! What a fantastic natural resource! The children are busy making cookies and cupcakes today... would you like some? “I’m sprinkling the sugar on top.” “Mix, mix, mix, we are making cupcakes” @foxfield

This morning we are writing simple captions and words. It makes it even more exciting when we can use post it’s and pens! @foxfield

This week we are reflecting on our learning this year. It’s the last term of the year and soon it’ll be time for our next adventure! We are thinking about what we have learnt this year and what we are looking forward to in Year 1 @foxfield @IPAT_Edu
