This is the book we have been working with this week.
We have talked about feeling happy and feeling sad and how different activities, experiences and even weather can affect the way we feel.
To really get to grips with the story, we constructed different elements of the story in the gym and took it in turns to act out the story.
Augustus crawls through the bushes....
Augustus climbs the tallest trees....
Augustus scales the peaks of the highest mountains...
Augustus swims to the bottom of the deepest oceans...
Augustus finally finds his smile in a sparkling puddle!
Not only were we developing our gross motor skills, we were expanding our imaginations and developing our literacy and language skills.
Later we made maps of Augustus's journey to find his smile.
We have also been dancing along to a happy song you can find it by clicking this link or looking in our SONGS AND RHYMES section
We have also been doing the ROLY POLY rhyme which makes us all giggle! Click below
Also in the classroom we have been working with numbers
and on fine motor skills and collaboration and cooperation
We've managed to get outside every day this week:
building shelters in case the rain started pouring down!
working on our core strength and balancing
examining the last of the strawberry plants
We've had a busy week so make sure you have a good rest of the weekend!
HOMEWORK
Have a go at the rhythm and rhyme games on busythings.co.uk
Listen to one of our stories.
Ask your child if they can remember all of things that Augustus did that helped him to find his smile.
Help your child to draw a picture or make a collage of something that makes them feel happy and bring it in to school to show us!
