Elmer

We read the story of Elmer. 'We made books' McKenzie. Lots of the children had a go at writing their own books. 'We played with the Elmer toys' Florence. The children enjoyed retelling the story of Elmer in our small world area and with the story sack. 'Elmer has lots of colours' Cai. We compared the sizes of different of the elephants. 'They are a little bit big and a little bit small.' Ryley. Everyone had a go at writing a sentence about Elmer and making patterns on an elephant. We had some amazing writing this week!
We sang 5 elephants on a piece of string for our music and practised keeping time with the music. Eadie showed everyone how she could keep time with the music when she practised in Learning Through Play.
Next week we will be learning about 3D shapes and making our own 3D Elmer elephants. Our home learning is to find out a fact about an elephant and write a sentence. I am looking forward to find out more about elephants.
