Ciao Ciao Newsletter - Autumn Term – Week 6
Dear Parents,
This week’s theme was Halloween in our sensory activities!
The children had a wonderful time painting pumpkins and making a spooky ghost craft.
Vocabulary Focus
This week, we introduced and explored the following words: Halloween, skeletons, dark, frightening, scared, bones, pumpkins, hammer, and more.
Group Time Highlights
* We read the book Funnybones
* Sang nursery rhymes
* Practised counting from 1 to 10
* Continued working on colour recognition
* Introduced the letter H for Halloween in phonics
Montessori Activity
During our Montessori time, we explored a sensory tray filled with pumpkins, hammers, autumn leaves, pine cones, and seeds. This helped the children develop their fine motor skills, concentration, and sensory awareness.
A Quick Look at Our Week

In Italian, we continued practicing Chiudi gli occhi and introduced a new song: Fra Martino.

In our cooking session, we prepared biscuits and decorated them with colourful food-safe paints.
Wednesday
During Forest School, the children planted spring onions and spinach in pots, which they proudly took home.
Thursday
For the first time, the children used a tablet to match shapes – a fun way to support their cognitive development.

We introduced some musical instruments that will be part of our Christmas Show. The children also enjoyed the “play and stop” movement game – they were all very excited!
