Children learnt and can recite a poem about the meaning of and symbolism of the poppy.

We used this as a meaningful way to develop our learning in art.

• Remember new routines such as following our rules, taking turns and respecting our resources and environment. Children are learning about the routine of the day and the expectation that they attend small group time.
• Listen and attend to others in a range of contexts including when playing, singing nursery rhymes and looking while a adult tells a story.
• Make secure relationships with educators and children by playing with and alongside others.
• Regulate their feelings and develop resilience.
• Use self-help skills such as putting on our coats and using the toilet.

We have learnt some key facts about France during European Languages Day.

We can now recognise the flag of France and recreated it using our knowledge of colour and fine motor skills in the malleable area. In mathematics we have been sorting and classifying so the grown ups considered how the resources were presented to children.

We tasted some traditional french food. The adults modelled counting and using manners in french and we copied.

We sang the french nursery rhyme of Frere Jacques. We explored the meaning and added instruments. We then later used the tune and subject of this song to recall our focus text of Peace at Last. “Are you sleeping, are you sleeping? Mr Bear, Mr Bear . . . ”
