Over the past two days we have planned, created and tested our own boats to safely help the gingerbread man cross the river. The children used a range of tools and materials to make their boats and were very proud of their creations.

Today we followed our plans and made our boats. We chose the resources that we had added on to our planning sheets.
Tomorrow we are going to sail the boats. Will they work? Can we save the Gingerbread Man?

Next term EYFS are going to be learning about the seaside. Our expedition is called What happens where the sea meets the shore? We will be learning about what the seaside looks like now and what it looked like long ago.
We are asking for your help.
If you go to the seaside for a day trip or on holiday please can you send us photos on Evidence Me. If you have any old photos that we could use or artefacts that we could look at we would appreciate seeing those also. We would like to make a timeline of changes over time.
We are looking forward to seeing your photos.

Well done to Sujaya and Elizabeth for matching the correct numeral to the number of buttons on our Gingerbread man!
We had lots of fun today exploring different materials. We need to make decisions as to what we want to make our boats out of.

Today Mr stables from XP came to speak to us all about boats. Mr Stables has been sailing in the UK and across the world for 14 years now so it was very interesting to see some of his photos and hear about his experiences. Mr Stables taught us what the different parts on a boat are called and we learnt some new terms such as buoyancy. We then played a game to get used to the boat terminology and Designed our own boats.

Wow! An amazing afternoon. The children were creative in painting gingerbread men, drawing and telling stories. These are some of our creations.
