We watched a video of Dorothy seeing colour for the first time in Oz and then created some inspired drawings. The children were given autonomy to create whatever they wanted with the theme, ‘the colours of Oz.’ Here they are enjoying some creative literary time!
Last week the children explored the story Whatever Next! as part of their expedition learning. This story was incorporated into our continuous provision to support their understanding through play. The children were provided with simple 2D shapes such as circles, squares and triangles and encouraged to talk about the shapes and their properties. Using their knowledge, they created their own rockets inspired by the story.
This activity supported the children’s fine motor development as they manipulated and placed the shapes, while also developing their mathematical understanding of shape and space. The hands-on experience also provided rich sensory exploration and opportunities for discussion, linking storytelling with creative and mathematical learning. Well done crew Frost.
Yesterday and today we have been looking at describing who and doing. They children diod really well with this and they showed me that they are working hard.
We have been learning about the 2 times tables using bricks to visualise what this looks like. We noticed doubles! We then wrote out the abstract form and noticed the commutativity of multiplication… check us out!
So today in writing we had to see if we could hold a sentence by remembering what the sentences said the day before. This is how we did
Today in writing they copied the sentence making sure they used a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence followed by a full stop at the end of the sentence. We made sure that we had finger spaces in between our words. In activate (do now ) we checked that we knew what who?, doing? and where? .We made sure by completing a task first before our writing.
Today in p.e they did a circuit which tried out all of their skills
Today the students became the masters of their own learning during our maths consolidation lesson on statistics. They confidently explained concepts and challenged each other with thoughtful questions and worked collaboratively to solve problems. Amazing work, keep it up!
At lunch a member of Crew Haddock decided that he wanted to clean our table ready for the next crew to have their lunch. Makes me so proud to see this
In writing today the children looked at what where is. Over the past 3 days the children have looked at who?, doing? and where?
