Problem solving super stars!

The children were exploring the drainpipes and stands in outdoor provision this morning and I was amazed at how well they worked together to problem solve! They manoeuvred the pipes to create a shoot for a ball to roll down, and reflected each time on whether or not it had worked, and improved it to make the ball stay in the shoot and roll further. I was amazed at the perseverance and concentration form everyone to make a fantastic shoot for the ball!

Learning in provision

Crew Welburn were so excited to see a new addition to our role play today – a supermarket! The children couldn’t wait to get into their choosing time to go and explore and it was definitely the busiest areas of the classroom today! The children showed how well they could share resources, take turns and develop their own story lines in their role play. Some of the children even showed off their writing skills by independently writing a list of items that they wanted to buy from the shop – amazing work Crew Welburn!

The children also used our healthy vegetables to explore different prints in the workshop, and made real Mr Potato Heads out of vegetables while explain what each part represented! Such a fun day for us all!

Significant events

As we continue through our History case study, we started to think about significant events and how these have impacted today’s society.

We started with a silent conversation where children had to think about what the image showed and when in history it took place.

Once we had finished discussing the events and when we thought they happened. It was time to match the image with the statement before putting them in chronological order. Lovely to see that some children already had some prior knowledge of these events such as Titanic, the Queen’s coronation.

Today MI finish PP2

Some great writing in MI 🙂 Such positive attitudes shown throughout this piece of writing. I look forward to reading your final versions after you have edited and redrafted.

Gap filling in arithmetic

Today we looked at and unpicked our last arithmetic paper. After some modelling, we used our purple pen to have another go at the questions we got incorrectly. Some great partner work shown 🙂 MI you really are showing great improvements in arithmetic, keep it up!
