Week Beginning 2nd March 2020

The Train Ride.

This week our theme has been based on the story The Train Ride. We have read the story together on the carpet and thought and chatted about our own experiences on trains.

We have also made 2d shape trains, naming and talking about the shapes we have used and their properties. We have also got a new role play area, a train station!

As well as reading the Train Ride this week we have also been thinking about lots of different books and stories as this week it is World Book Day! Some children have come in dressed up as characters from their favourite stories and we have also been bringing in our favourite books to share with our friends and teachers.

In phonics this week we have been learning the A, a letter sound, we have practised saying the sound, and we have been thinking about words that begin with this sound, such as apple, ant, and alligator.

Next week we will be looking at the T, t letter sound.

Our story next week will be Bumper to Bumper, a book about a huge traffic jam and all of the different vehicles stuck in it! For this week's challenge it would be great if you could draw or paint a picture of your favourite type of transport or if you're feeling really creative you could make a model of your favourite type of transport.
