Autumn Time!

We have had a fantastic few weeks settling in and making new friends and learning new things. We particularly enjoyed our Teddy Bear week when we brought our teddies in and we all did some super writing about them. We read lots of teddy bear stories and had a picnic with our teddies at the end of the week.
This week we have been learning about Autumn and finding out about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We have listened to music by Vivaldi 'The four Seasons' and we have done some dancing. We learned a lovely new song about Autumn and many of the children were singing it as they were raking leaves and sweeping outside.
We read a lovely book called the 'Leaf Man' and some children followed this up with some amazing art work. Lulu's piece was chosen to go into an exhibition at the Harpenden Town Hall.
Next week is 'Nursery Rhyme week' and we will be doing various Nursery Rhyme activities. Home learning this week is to sing nursery rhymes with your child and to draw a picture and label it. We are looking forward to seeing these.
