Class 1's Trip to the Farm!
This week, Class 1 have been to the farm. We made bread, collected eggs from the hens, and saw lots of animals!
Making aqua foam!
Today we used a whisk to create aqua foam using chick pea water, cream of tartar and food colouring. We used it in our potions and mud kitchen creations!
Independent writing during learning through play!
Today lots of children visited the writing table and the additional phonics resources around the classroom. It was amazing to see lots of children using their phonics skills independently as they chose to write words and sentences. Well done class one!
The 3 Pigs' House
Today the children are using their friendship, teamwork, perseverance, questioning and reasoning skills to build a house! We're hoping that it is strong enough to protect us from the Big Bad Wolf.
Jack and the beanstalk magic beans!
Today we created our own magic beans for Jack to use to grow a beanstalk! We used lots of colours, shapes and patterns!
Gingerbread experiment
Today we are going to experiment with gingerbread. After reading the Gingerbread man, we are going to question what would happen to him if he fell in the river. We will make predictions. We will question what would happen if he fell into different liquids? We will make hypotheses. We will observe…
Representing amounts on the tens frame!
Today we worked in small teams to represent amounts 0-10 on the tens frame! We subitised, talked about the part whole, talk about doubles and found 1 less and 1 more! The reception maths skills are amazing! There was lots of excellent teamwork!
Mass and Capacity
We've been exploring mass and capacity by using the weighing scales to measure out chocolate and cornflakes. We've then explored different sized spoons and scoops to put the mixture into the cupcake cases.
Lunar New Year Dragon!
We have we learning about the importance of the dragon in the Lunar New Year. We have created a huge dragon head ready for our dragon dances this week!
Painting Chinese symbols using mud!
We used mud to explore painting Chinese symbols in our forest school session.
Building words!
We used sounds to build civic words on a Chinese New Year Dragon! There was some super sounding and segmenting to spell!
Weaving a fruit basket!
Class one have been weaving and decorating baskets for Handa to carry her fruit in. We looked at traditional African bowls and recreated the patterns using pen. We also weaved paper and created fruit using pastels.
