PLAYROOM

Indoors the children continued to learn about dinosaurs. With a focus on dinosaur skeletons and  what dinosaurs eat. Children took part in looking at the different sizes of dinosaurs feet and compared them with the sizes of their own feet. A display was made that is on the ECC playroom wall. Children used technology to research dinosaurs and to consolidate their previous learning.

Social studies, technology,  literacy, maths and numeracy.

CREATIVE AREA

In the creative area children made a 3-D dinosaur using boxes, paint and glue. Look out for the dinosaur appearing in our reception area in the ECC soon!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUTDOORS

Outdoors children focused on spatial awareness where they used bikes, jumping spots and small cars to learn about direction and where it was safe to go. Children explored  spacehoppers as well to follow direction.

This week we had pancake Tuesday and for lunch we ate pancakes with fruit and ice cream that the children really enjoyed.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the dry weather by getting outdoors which helps ALL mental well-being.

A short week this week after returning from the February break.  The children are still demonstrating an interest in Dinosaurs and have been creating their own fossils using clay and dinosaur skeleton bones.

Curricular Areas: Literacy, Science.

In the art and craft area the children were designing their own dinosaurs and giving them their own name.

Curricular Areas: Expressive Arts

Outdoors the children were still interested in designing and building obstacle courses.  They continued exploring different materials to use as cement such as sand.  The ipad was used to research and study different buildings.    The children were assessing their risk by building towers and jumping off of them.

Curricular Areas:  Health and Wellbeing, Technologies.

Outdoor learning:

This week we have been working as a team to design and construct different buildings….we made houses, a Pizzeria and a water station we also used a variety of materials like shaving foam as cement.

Curricular areas: Health and Well-being, Technology, Expressive Arts.

We also identified 2d shapes in the garden and used them to build a castle.

Curricular areas: Maths/Numeracy.

Indoor Learning:

We have been exploring different species of dinosaurs and their habitats and looking at fossils, bones and teeth. We have been researching and investigating through ICT using the Promethian Board.

Curricular Areas: Expressive Arts, Science, Technology.

Hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend. Don’t forget our Stem challenge of the month, we’d love to see you taking part, all information on Learning Journals.

ECC reopens on Thursday 16th February.

See you all then

This week we have continued exploring birds after the RSPB National bird watch weekend 🦅 The children continued to show interest in bird watching both indoors and outdoors. Some children explored data analysis through creating bar charts based on the information gained from our watch. Indoors, the children also created their own birds by using collage materials.

Curricular areas – Science, Numeracy, Expressive Arts

Outdoors

The children have been exploring water play outdoors, specifically looking at measurement and floating and sinking.Also they have shown interest in building houses and obstacle courses developing their problem solving, imagination and gross motor skills.

Curricular areas – HWB, Science, Technologies

We have uploaded to journals our monthly challenge and our rhyme of the month! We would love to see you all taking part in these.

Have a lovely weekend, Beth☺️
