Autumn Term Topics
The autumn term is always exciting. We welcome lots of new children and there's plenty going on.
We celebrate Diwali, Halloween, Bonfire night, Remembrance Day and Christmas Jumper Day. With lots of fun activities linked to all these events and plenty to learn and explore.
All our children will be involved in our terms topics which include returning after summer with their holiday bags full of memories, 'All about me' learning, autumn investigations and crafts and we start thinking about Christmas!
Tuff Tray Activities
We are starting to explore ‘the curiosity approach’ at Little Acorns. Bringing a variety of activities that aren’t traditional toys, that are open ended and allow children to create their own play, encouraging greater use of their imagination. Here we have a selection of logs and bark for the children to explore. There is lots to talk about, texture, shape and size. Do they roll? Can you stack them. We can’t wait to see what games the children create!
Wow this activity looks fun!
This activity encourages the children to practice their fine motor skills and build up hand strength by using these clever scissors or their fingers to pick up the pasta and rice and deposit it in the cups. By using numbered cups we are encouraging number recognition and counting 1 for 1 as children try to put the matching number in the pot.
THEMES:
Our half termly plans for our activities and learning are designed by our staff to encourage learning and development of all our children. We take into account the children's interests, stages of learning, and any events or celebrations.
Each session has opportunities for the children in role play, maths, ICT, creative, mark making, reading, singing and physical activity.
Very busy days!
