As we entered February, we continued our space topic. We had some great Space themed stories including ‘Blast Off’ and ‘Goodnight moon’. We continued to involve ourselves in lots of great space themed activities, including painting wooden rockets and planets that had been specially made for us. We learnt how many planets are in the solar system and even learnt some of the names of these planets.

Valentine’s day fell during our space topic so we looked at the story ‘I love you to the moon and back’. This encouraged lots of discussions on how we can show or tell someone that we love them. We also completed lots of valentines’ activities and made a card for someone we loved.

In maths we continued to look at weight, and we also learnt all about the number 2. The children went on a number hunt to see if they could find any number 2’s. We also celebrated number day with everyone dressed up as their favourite numbers. We played some fantastic number games and learnt some new number songs.

All the children continued to develop their gross motor skills using the outside area and in PE we were able to use the climbing frame.
