October

The two themes we explored for October were Autumn and Halloween. Take a look at all the fun activities we got stuck in to. We kicked off the autumn theme by making some lovely Autumn colored Pom Pom trees.

Our theme song was The Scarecrow Song which we loved and were very good at doing our actions to it.

We made beautiful hedgehogs from lovely colored silk leaves.

We made stained glass leaves with tissue paper.

We used leaves for a matching activity.

We used confers to make some lovely shake art Autumn leaves for our display.

We went for a nature walk to find signs of Autumn and picked up some lovely leaves which we brought back to class and did some leaf rubbings with crayons.

Following our theme song we made our own scarecrows for our Autumn display board

Look how fabulous they turned out.

We played an Autumn picture matching game.

We played Autumn themed bingo.

We practiced our fine motor skills with some Autumn themed dot-to-dot activities.

September

Room 4 had fun settling in and getting to know each other for the month of September. We welcomed Caiden, Christian, Rosanna and Victor who are new to our School this year and we welcome Aisling back after the summer holidays. We look forward to working with them all and having fun throughout the year. We enjoyed exploring the themes of myself and school this month. Take a look at the photographs for a peek at what we got up to.

We made some lovely name crafts to display on our classroom walls.

We learned the parts of our bodies and played a matching game which we were really good at.

Here we are practicing our fine motor skills with various activities.

Here we are enjoying some sensory play on our new tuff tray with shaving foam.

We love bubbles here in room 4, look at how much fun we are having popping those bubbles.

Our first trip to the cookery room this year was a great success, everyone enjoyed helping to make homemade pizza.

Checking our pizzas to make sure they’re not burning.

We measured ourselves with string to see how tall we were and made a nice display for the classroom wall.

We made a school bus craft from paper plates and different shapes.

We made a school bag craft with our pictures on them.

Another fun fine motor skills activity, feeding the lion with Pom poms.

For our next trip to the cookery room we tried our hands at making some Rice Krispie buns, we also sampling them afterwards.

We put our construction skills together and made a school bus from LEGO. Wow, very impressive building work!

We played school themed bingo.

Our next creations in the cookery room were toasted sandwiches which we enjoyed eating as much as we enjoyed making them.
