Outdoor Learning!

This week we have been making the most of the wonderful weather we have had! On Wednesday we explored shapes, inspired by our experience with the Graffiti Artist, we had a Graffiti shape table where the children could draw around, colour and label. We then went outside to use natural objects like sticks, stones, grass and even a couple of acorns that we found to make shapes!

On Thursday, we were inspired by the abstract workings of Kandinsky and we have recreated his work through different mediums, including outdoor objects! As well as developing their creativity, they had to work together as a team to find resources and make a piece together. We then viewed each other’s creations and talked about what we liked about them.

On Friday, we continued to work on our team work and communication skills. We had to pass a hoop around the circle. We made it more challenging by splitting into two teams and having a competition then forming a big circle with multiple hoops going around. It was wonderful to see the children, helping each other, intructing each other and cheering each other on. We are going to be the most incredible team this year, 1CR!

Finding Half!

In our lesson today we were recognising and finding half of a quantity. We know from our previous lessons that finding a half is when there are two equal groups. Around the room we had different numbers that the children worked in groups to find half of.

We then talked about having an odd numbers. We cannot find a half of an odd number as there will always be a spare.

Getting Active in Maths!

1/2K have been learning about the comparison symbols in Maths. To introduce the children to this topic we were dancing to the Go Noodle greater than, less than and equal to song. We then explored the room making our symbols using lolly pop sticks to compare our towers. Great job everyone!
