Dear Parents/Carers,
We’ve had a busy time learning all about Autumn this week. We have...
- looked at non fiction books about Autumn and talked about the changes we might see at this time of year
- learnt lots of new words linked to Autumn and looked at Autumnal items in our investigation tray - conkers / conker shells / acorns / pine cones / berries / red/yellow/orange/brown leaves
- been learning our harvest songs
- been making repeating patterns with Autumnal objects e.g. conker / acorn / conker / acorn
EYFS Curriculum - Next week we be doing the following:
Understanding the World - we will continue to learn about the season of Autumn
Literacy - making a lists of what we might see at this time of year
Letters and Sounds – we will continue to listen to environmental sounds but this week will make different sounds with beaters.
Mathematics – we will look at counting out groups of objects and recognising changes in quantities
