We had the wall bars and other equipment out in PE today. The children experimented with travelling in different ways and climbing on and through the bars.

The children used masking tape, sellotape and glue to join the pieces to their planes. They followed their plans and knew what they wanted to add the next session.

The children could compare the weight of two objects, saying which was heavier and which was lighter. They also predicted the results first.

The children loved using the new airport roleplay area. They stamped the passports, weighed the bags, checked tickets and served food. Some of them suggested their destinations as well.

The children said the numbers on the ducks as they played duck racing

The children made gifts for Sid’s birthday. They correctly made and counted five sausages, five biscuits and five cakes.

The children used the instruments to make different sounds.

The children collected acorns outside. They then grabbed a handful of acorns, lined them up and counted them. They could all say which person had more.

The children enjoyed using the pipes and cars while using the water for the cars to go into the water, while using the paint on the floor , to make different ideas they have created showing creativity and expressing themselves, ie Libby said she made “Alton towers”.

The children enjoyed using different tools in the playdough that they made yesterday.

These children played a phonics game, using the dice then moving the counter, then reading the word showing understanding of phonics, and reading.

The children sequenced pictures from the story ‘Six Little Chicks’. Today, they used these to retell the story to their partners.

The children could name the 3d shapes and recognise them in pictures during our bingo game.

This week we looked at the different ways to represent 9 on dominoes. The children could sort the dominoes in to those with less than 9, 9 and more than 9.

The children built a castle as a group. They then had to choose a container to transport water from the bucket to the castle, to create a moat. We talked about which held the most/least and which were full/half full/empty.
