We're going on a bear hunt!

We began our week in Nursery reading 'We're going on a bear hunt', many of the children already knew the story as its one they share at home which is great to hear! We acted out the story trying to walk in thick, oozy mud and wade through a flowing river.  I think the best part was though when we made our own cave and we all huddled together inside looking and waiting for the bear! We also watched and listened to Michael Rosen , the author of the story, retell the story and we discussed what an author and an illustrator are. We continued with our phase 2 phonics - We continue to listen and distinguish between the sounds and practice our letter formation. We was so impressed every child came and wrote the 'i' sound on my teaching board! We have also been practicing our name writing too! In maths we began to look at repeating patterns and we will continue with this next week.

We celebrated our feast day of 'St Joseph's' by reflecting on our Saint and by each making our own Lily flower as

St. Joseph is always shown holding these. To make this day even more special the children received a surprise from the ice cream van! A very tasty surprise!

Well done to our stars of the week Loic and Malyk and our reading trunki star Emmanuel.

We wish you a wonderful weekend,

Mrs Vinci and Mrs Direnzo
