Making a caterpillar

We have been practicing fine motor skills. We are becoming confident at holding pencils but today the children used string, a hole punch and leaves to make caterpillars by threading.

They then took their caterpillars on adventures.

Being kind

John has been very kind today helping other children to learn to play. He showed them what to do and how to do it and then included them in the play.

Well done John. This was such a good example of being kind.

Making cress heads

As we move onto case study 3 to learn about how animals grow we finished off case study 2 by creating cress heads. The children planted cress into the eggs and we hope that they will grown to make the eggs look like they have hair.

Exploring beans

What do beans look like, smell like and taste like? That was the question we asked this morning. The children explored baked beans in the tough tray and made beans on toast. Their knife and fork skills are improving.

It was a maths day.

There was maths everywhere today! Outside the children were looking at numbers on the parachute and subitising the spots. Summer and Esme’ made pretend phones adding numbers. Kaya looked at the story we had read noticing that the numbers got bigger. Elle talked about how old her sister is and that she is 5 more than Elle.

Some children worked with Miss Roberts comparing the size of giant feet. They used cubes to work out how long they were.

We all looked at different sizes of paper and ordered them by how long they were.

As part of our expedition lesson we also talked about the days of the week.
