Sharing is caring!! Home learning 6.10.15

Hello parents!

As mentioned in the previous few e-mails, we have been focussing on playing nicely and sharing. We embedded this idea into all the topics and the children were really considerate towards each other. Thank you for all your support from home, as well! Here are some photos that show how nice they were being to each other.

 Ploen and Irene sharing play dough!

 Arthur, Harry and Nari sharing food at their tea party...

 We had a chat about how to share toys at play time...

 I asked this group to think about how they can all have a go on the bike, if there is only one! Arthur said "go for little bit!"

 They also learned how to line up so that everyone can have a go at the slide!

 Nari and Freya both wanted to be princesses, so, they found two dresses instead of fighting over one!

 Mayumi broke her play dough so that the others could have some too!

 Gap and Namnoon shared the spaghetti maker.

 Lucas and Arthur shared their train track with Harry and Linin.

 Ploen, Lexi and Mungkorn worked very nicely in the water area.

 Irene and Pailin shared marker pens and colour pencils; they learned that by putting each colour back after using them, the other person can use it too.

We also did some very exciting activities for our last book. Here we are using different materials to make up the areas of the book.

We made some paper plate bears, too!

 Arthur and his friends pretended to go on a bear hunt in the different areas.

 Namnoon and his friends worked in the play dough area to make a cave for the bear!

 Harry and his friends used picture cards to sequence the story in the correct order.

I had a lot of fun doing a sound experiment with the kids. Guess which items made the noise of each area from the book?

 The river. 

 The grass. 

 The snow storm! This one was everyone's favourite!

On Friday, we went on our own bear hunt - it was great fun! Thank you for sending in bears from home :)

This week, we have started our new book "Three little pigs". The kids are really enjoying doing all the actions from the book. At home, you can read the book Three little pigs with your child and prompt them to follow along with the repetitions.

As a home activity, use different items from around the house and ask your child to sort them according to size. There are some good ideas on this website: Size sorting.

As you know, a Charity event will be held next week on Friday 16th October. We have asked children to collect unwanted toys for the event which can then be sold on. As an additional home-learning activity, I would like the children of KM to sort through their toys to find items that they would like to donate to charity. Once toys have been sorted, please write a label to say what the toy is and then drop the toy off in the blue bins outside the Front Office.
We are also asking for parents to make play dough which can then be sold at the Charity Fair. Children can help you make the dough as it is a very easy recipe.Once the dough has been made, please bag it up and bring it to school ready to be sold on Charity Day. 

 Please don't forget to make an appointment for Parent Conferences. The sign up sheets are outside the Front Office.
