Over the previous couple of weeks Chestnut have continued to learn all about Houses and Homes. We have been learning about farm animals and their habitats and exploring/identifying their homes in the tuff tray. We have especially liked the mud, water and straw! We have been exploring measure- big and small and making requests for big/small farm vehicles to make paint tracks with. 

 

It was also Mental Health Week and Chestnut Class love being active and ensuring our bodies are regulated for learning with our friends, so have a look through our photos (we are dressed in green for this important day!) 

 

Our story this week was Goldilocks and The Three Bears and we have been retelling the story through Attention Autism, learning to develop our shared attention and increase vocabulary. We have been developing these skills in the story tray too - joining in with repeated refrains and using mathematical language, finding the ‘smallest’ and ‘largest’ from the story props. We have also been learning about kitchen utensils including whisks, cookie cutters, rollers, jugs and sieves to make play doh cakes and foam cakes. 

 

Good work Chestnut Class!
