The Elves and The Shoemaker

When we asked the children about the topic 'InsideOut' they talked about their clothes turning inside out and the seams . We have use the story of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' as a starting point of a mini topic on sewing. The children have really enjoyed this story and they all did some super writing following it and some of their own books in learning through play. We have had a shoe shop in our role-play and we have had some fantastic play in there. The children have been measuring each other's feet and using money to pay for the shoes. Next week we are hoping to have a go at making shoes for our toys.

We had our number day today and the children were very excited to look at each other's numbers. We did an ordering activity and we did some addition using our number shirts and our fingers. We hope we have made lots of money for the NSPCC.

We read a story by Jill Murphy early in the week and the children were all keen to have a Jill Murphy week. Many of the children remembered to bring a book in for us to read. Which is your favourite?Our home learning for this weekend is to look at some books and choose your favourite to draw a picture and write about. Please remember to do your own work and I look forward to seeing some lovely pictures and writing.
