Week Three

What an amazing time we had last week when we went to see Stu Deval. All the children were just transfixed. The talent of being able to have all the children hanging on your next word, with no props other than the picture you have drawn is truly amazing. Stu certainly showed us a new "art" the art of story telling, his visit fitted in so well with our big topic.

All of our new children in Room 1 are quickly settling into the new routines - there is so much to learn as you begin school, the classroom routines, how to respond and participate to activities such as aerobics and singing.

On Wednesday we have Liz Fitzsimons visiting our room, Liz is an ICT tutor, who will come into the room and teach the children new skills along with setting a challenge for them to complete before she next visits in June.

This week we will continue to complete our art based activity around the "Elmer the Elephant" books. Our maths focus in Room 1 is number order and reading the numbers. The sound of the week is Jj and the word of the week is "go."

Have a great week.

  1. What great learning you are doing in Room One. Welcome to all the new children who have started and I hope you are enjoying having a lovey small classroom. I liked seeing your drawing after you went to see Stu Duval- well done Room One!
