Our EYFS Wow Moments!

A DAY AT THE FUNFAIR

Whitelow 5 had a fantastic time at the funfair! They enjoyed hooking a duck, playing on the coconut shy and dressing up as the ring master! What a wonderful day you all had!

T grasped the brush and used hand under hand support to dab it forwards to make marks. Excellent mark making!

M really showed enjoyment during our “farmers” week. She loved making marks in the paint using the tractor, she was able to independently push the tractor around in the paint, after painting the wheels with her brush! Amazing work M :)

R loved our planting session. He followed simple instructions to plant some beans. He was very confident using a spade to add soil in the pot.

A DAY AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE!

Whitelow 5 had a wonderful time at the construction site. The designed and built models, developed their fine motor skills by hammering plastic nails into play dough, developed their gross motor skills by building tall tower, enjoyed a construction themed noisy numbers session, drew and coloured construction vehicles but most importantly they had great fun! Well done Whitelow 5, lovely imaginative play!

Whitelow 5 have been learning about the emergency services. Each week their classroom has been transformed into a different place, so far the children have enjoyed being doctors, firefighters and police officers.Excellent imaginative play!

O was really proactive when exploring the firefighters light and switch toy. He showed real interest when we were singing our firefighters song and and smiled and made his way to the screen. Wonderful work O!

CommunicatiH was able to follow simple 1 word level instructions and engage in pretend play, e.g give a drink to teddy, give pizza to teddy, with minimum verbal support. Amazing role play H

R enjoyed exploring the clay. He worked really hard to mould it, shape it and make an indentation in the middle to place a tealight.

Z watched with interest as the food colouring made patterns in the milk and washing up liquid. Lovely curiosity!

V used the numicon to work out 10+2. Amazing maths skills!

O – Looking at and recognising symbols for its use (working on snack and toilet) O has been bringing the toilet symbol to an adult to communicate that he needs the bathroom. O came into the classroom from outside and took the symbol then went back outside to give the symbol to an adult. Excellent communication skills!
