Hub Update 04.12.24
The children are enjoying reading The Snowman this week.
On Monday, we worked as a team to put up the Hub Christmas tree - we also made lots of decorations for the tree and the room. This work is supporting the children's fine motor skills through cutting, manipulating paper, using glue sticks/spreaders and adding glitter and stars to their decorations.
We have been focussing on hand washing and eating this week too. As part of our support to enable the children to eat a wider variety of foods, we have a taster table at lunchtime so the children can explore new tastes and textures.
The Hub parents evening is taking place on Tuesday 10th December from 3.30 to 5.00. Please come along and take a look at all the hard work your children are completing.
Hub Update 27.11.24
The children have continued to enjoy learning about The Gingerbread Man and are starting to make the noises of the animals in the story.
We have had a very crafty week making gingerbread crowns and puppets from the story.
We are also exploring different textures and make snow from flour and oil - we all got stuck in and enjoyed getting very messy.
We will be reading The Snowman by Raymond Briggs from next week.
Hub Update 20.11.24
This week we have been reading The Gingerbread Man and discovering all the animals that wanted to eat him !
We have also enjoyed the recent snow and explored touching and forming snow to make snowmen. On Wednesday 20th November, we listened to German nursery rhymes as part of the school German Day.
Please find below the link to Mr Tumble Phonics, the children enjoy listening to this every day. If you are able to watch this at home with your child that would be brilliant

We have been exploring the different sounds and feelings of Autumn. The children have enjoyed playing with autumn leaves.

Miss Taylor has been supporting the children to sequence the events in the Gruffalo's child as well as manipulating clay and paint.
On Monday 11th November, the children took part in the 2 minute silence for Remembrance Day. All of the children made a poppy to mark this event.
