<p>As seen on my Instagram…</p>
<p>A lovely Autumnal maths activity to consolidate 2 step repeating patterns</p>
<p>(3-step cards are included to stretch those little brains!)</p>
<p>For this week we have our children part time so our plan is much more simplified.</p>
<p>There are circle time ideas and adult-led activities to support baseline assessments through age-appropriate activities.</p>
<p>There are also a range of continuous provision enhancements to engage children and again, hit some of your baseline assessments through play - none of that RBA iPad assessing here!</p>
<p>Weekly Theme: Starting School<br />
Focus Book: The Colour Monster Goes to School*</p>
<p><em>I know that there is some controversy regarding using the Colour Monster due to the black colour monster being associated with fear. In this version of the Colour Monster, the black colour monster only appears once. There is no reference to black representing fear but the words spooky and scary are used on the same page as the visual of the black colour monster. In our book we have coloured over him in grey paint. In the activities that we set out in class, we have removed the black monster entirely. We have chosen to continue to use this book as the children engage well with it, it approaches the subject of starting school well and promotes good conversations with our young learners.</em></p>
