MOOD MONSTERS

This week we have met some mood monsters!

The red monster is angry and stamps and shouts.
The blue monster is sad and sometims cries or hides.
The green monster is scared and might shake like a jelly.
The purple monster is excited and bounces up and down.
The yellow monster is happy and smiles and laughs.
The orange monster is surprised and has wide eyes.

Which moods have you experienced this week?

Have a look at the monsters we made with the kinetic sand!







We also listened to lots of different types of music and thought about how we felt like moving our bodies and how the music made us feel. We chose which mood monster to sit in front of when the music stopped playing and took it in turns to say 'The music made me feel......'


In maths we have been working with numicon. Matching numerals to quantity and finding different ways to make the same number using the numicon (addition).

We always enjoy reading together. One of the stories we enjoyed this week was Dogs don't do ballet
Click below to listen to the story again. And talk about the things that you do that make you feel happy.

Our Rhyme this week was Hickory Dickory Dock. Click here to listen to some of the children reciting it, can you guess whose voice is whose?

We've also been getting nice and slimy with some non-newtonian fluids. We dyed this cornflour and water slime bright yellow and enjoyed scooping, pouring, moulding it and watching it drip through our fingers!

AND we finished our display based on the story about Augustus the tiger. Look closely and you will see that recreated some of the artwork in the book, practised our handwriting and pencil control with the captions and the tiger stripes at the top and bottom of the picture.


HOMEWORK
Please listen to 'Rhythm and Dynamics' and 'Who's voice?' in the tasks and challenges section.
Talk yo your child about which different moods they experience, what can affect their mood? Play them some music you like to listen to when you are happy, sad, angry, calm.
Draw a mood picture or make a mood collage.
