Autumn 1
Computing
Cross Curricular – Maths, SCERTS, Phonics, Science, Music
In Rose Class we all love to use the Interactive Whiteboard to extend our learning. Using websites such as Phonics play, TopMarks, Purplemash and Helpkidzlearn. We use the Interactive Whiteboard in all lessons to watch clips, complete maths, music, science, story massage and movement to music activities.
We all like taking turns to choose activities on helpkidzlearn and we all love Topmark Maths to investigate the number of the day. It’s fun watching the Bee’s working so hard to keep up with the work we are doing.
Turn taking and waiting patiently helps us work towards our SCERTS targets too.
Maths
Cross Curricular – Computing, SCERTS
Every day we have a maths focus this half term it has been on recognising numbers. We have used Topmark maths to investigate our number of the day using the Interactive Whiteboard. We use our counting up and down skills using songs on helpkidzlearn.
During our Intensive Interaction session we have been learning how to match numbers and some of us are able to order numbers too.
MFL
Cross Curricular Links: Food Technology, ART, Sensory
For European Language Day we had Germany? We thought can we do to support this? How wrong was I.
We had so much fun painting German flags, had sensory play using the colour’s of the German flag. We, as always made a lot of mess.
Tasting German food was so much fun. I was proud of how everyone tried to eat or at least smell the different foods presented.
PE
Cross Curricular – PSHE, SCERTS
We all enjoy our PE Sessions delivered by Warrington Wolves. Both Finn and Isaac make sure we develop our gross motor skills with lots of fun activities. We have been learning about control through catching and throwing, core stability using hoops and we all love the parachute warmup activities.
PSHE
Cross Curricular Links. Design Technology - Art
We had lots of fun making paper plate faces of ourselves. Lots of mess and paint everywhere. It was funny looking at our faces in the mirror and trying to make our faces look the same. We loved sticking things in the wrong places as it looked funny.
In my opinion we have lots of budding Piccasso’s in Rose Class.
RE – Diwali.
Cross Curricular – PSHE, SCERTS
We had so much fun exploring the Hindu festival of Diwali. We loved making Diva lights and hope you enjoyed them when we sent them home. Diwali is a festival of light. We played dressing up in Hindu clothes. Some of us didn’t want to take them off. We listened to Hindu music and danced to some modern music like Jai Ho. We enjoyed sensory mark making using mixtures of dried rice and porridge oats. It was fun when we added water to make it into messy play.
Roald Dahl Day
Cross Curricular links – English, Food Tech, SCERTS
Every year in the UK we celebrate the amazing works of Roald Dahl and the books he wrote. Many have been made into movies and stage productions.
We celebrated Roald Dahl Day by using sweets in a sensory tray activity to celebrate ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.
Of course in Rose Class we had to investigate sweet treats!! We had fun mixing up different types of sweets to make our own favourite sweets.
