This week in Mighty Oaks 🌳the children having been looking at 🐲 Zog the book.
We’ve explored the woods for a Zog rainbow walk, where there the children looked for objects relating to the colours on their chart. 🌈
In cooking we made Gluten and dairy free Zog shaped biscuits yummy ! 🧑🏾🍳
In our Read, write, ink lessons 📚we broke down the book into sections, beginning, middle and end. Throughout we focused on the phrases and sentences
‘ Bravo ‘ and …
‘ Now that you’ve been shown, you can do it in your own’
Using these through the day in their daily routine reminded them of the book.
Getting our creative drama skills 🎭ready we put the children’s memory of the book to the test by dressing up as a character from the book and role played the scenes.
Creating our very own dragon school.
Maths lesson 🧮 focus was matching quantities to numerals with objects around the room to Autumn related numbers.
Let’s get physical 🏃🏽♂️
Indoor PE we played lots of different parachute games relating to our Theme topic of ‘ what goes up, must come down ‘
Outdoor PE Mr Birch asked the children to practice their underarm throwing by aiming a bean bag to land inside a hola hoop. ⭕️
Children then had a wonderful time in Sensory play by catching bubbles.
Exploring the world 🍂🍁 around them our tuff tray was set up as a scene from the Zog book with natural resources from outside and handmade props. This allowed the children to touch, smell and bring their own ideas to the tray in their child initiated time.
Next weeks book will be
‘ The scarecrows wedding ‘ 🌾
