This week we will be learning...

This week we are going to be learning about...

• being kind to each other and understanding how our actions can affect other people
• rhyming words
• similarities, differences and change
• stories that involve food, including 'The Gingerbread Man' and 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'

We will be learning...

• how to show awareness of other people's feelings and be kind to each other
• to recognise rhyming words and say some words that rhyme
• to join in with rhymes, poems and rhyming stories
• to talk about similarities and differences between objects, such as whether something is rough or smooth, hard or soft
• to talk about changes, including how the natural world is changing during autumn
• to retell stories
• to use equipment and tools safely and be hygienic when cooking
• to follow a recipe to make Gingerbread Men
• to talk about the size of objects and order objects by size

You can help me at home by...

• talking to me about being kind to others and praising me when I show care and consideration for other people's feelings (our value for October is Caring)
• playing games to practise rhyming words with me
• reading me rhyming books or singing nursery rhymes with me
• giving me opportunities to explore objects from the natural world and within the home and talking about their similarities and differences
• giving me opportunities to explore change, for example, how the texture of something changes when it is cooked or how ice melts
• cooking with me at home and talking about ingredients, weights, staying safe and following instructions in recipes
• helping me to retell the stories of The Gingerbread Man (Wednesday) and Goldilocks (Thursday)
