Parachute party!

In crew, we have been using our listening skills, as well as our socialising skills to play parachute games! We have absolutely LOVED our parachute crew sessions and can’t wait to play even more games when we next get the parachute out.

Busy bees in EYFS!

Since we have come back to school, we have been super busy getting hooked into our new expedition, as well as catching up with our friends.

We have LOVED being able to get outside, although we wish the weather would make it’s mind up – especially if it picks to be nice and sunny all the time!

We’ve enjoyed playing with the water tray and we have worked hard as a team to create a ramp for the boats to move from one tray to another. Using water to paint our climbing frame has also been something we have had lots of fun doing – we even worked together to make a platform to stand on so that we could reach the top of the frame.

Our new expedition is ’We’re on the move – Would you travel by wheels, wings or other things?’ and so we have been building our own buses and pretending to drive them as well as asking asking for tickets to our chosen destinations. We have also been carrying on some of our learning from our last expedition by checking in with our plants and making sure they are getting enough water. We have also really enjoyed using the new toys and jigsaws we have out in provision – the big helicopter is definitely a firm favourite!

Poetry in MI

Today we continued to unpick 3 mark questions using APE to support our answers. We then moved onto a poetry text, thinking about the meaning of the poem. We had to use our inference skills today in order to find answers as well as thinking about some of the vocabulary. The poem really challenged our thinking but allowed us to have some really good discussions.

Maths continues in MI

In magic maths we found the mean then converted between fractions, decimals and percentages. In our main maths lesson, we continued to look at word problems. Such hard work again in MI 🙂

Memories of the Queen 👑

To kick start our King Charles learning we looked at memories of the Queen that have happened over her reign. We looked at the Queen’s coronation and the Queen’s platinum jubilee. We really enjoyed watching the different memories and learning/understanding what happened in them and why.
