To start our maths learning this year we have been looking at colour. We have been talking about the names of different colours and which are our favourites. We have been sorting by colour in our group times (e.g purple and not purple) and have been exploring colour sorting in continuous provision.

We have looked at two different colour stories called The Colour Monster and Mix It Up. We used this as inspiration to look at colour mixing in the painting area. We loved mixing different colours together to make new ones.

We even turned our water tray and playdough different colours depending on the colour we were learning about!

At home you can help by talking about all the different colours you can see. How many different shades of the same colour can you find? Perhaps you could watch some episodes of Colourblocks on BBC iplayer to find out about new colours?

Today the children have been exploring how they can make different sounds outside. We all searched the woodland area to find a stick to use as our 'beater' and explored how we could make music using these. We tried stroking, banging and tapping our beaters on different surfaces outside including the fence, tyres and tunnels. We used our super listening ears and followed instructions to create sounds that were 'loud' and 'quiet' as well as tapping our beaters 'fast' and 'slow', creating different sounds.

This week the children have been exploring colour. We started off our week by reading the book 'The Colour Monster' and tried to spot the different colours on his body. The children were super at identifying red, yellow, green, blue and pink. We then had a go at making our own colour monsters using paint and forks to create a fur effect.
Each day this week the children will be focusing on a different colour and will be taking part in lots of activities based around this colour.
Today the children looked closely at the colour red and were super at identifying objects that were this colour.
We had lots of fun creating red pictures today, using different resources to make our marks.
We can't wait to show you what else we get up to this week!

The children in F1 have settled wonderfully into life at Athersley South over the last 2 weeks. We have been busy exploring all of the different areas and have been making new friends along the way.
We are really looking forward to making amazing memories throughout the year and hope you will follow us along our journey.
Here is a little peek at some of the areas we have loved exploring so far.
