FOAL ECO – EARTH DAY

We missed Earth Day on Monday due to a holiday so today we did some activities today. We were responsible citizens thinking about the earth. The lights were off all day and we made lovely Earth sensory pictures using shaving foam and food colouring. We mixed up the food colouring with the shaving foam and placed paper on top to create a picture. We really liked the texture of the shaving foam.

 

We went to the sensory room and didn’t turn any of the lights on. We had glow sticks and torches and read a story in the dark using the light from those. We then enjoyed just sitting and rolling around in the room in the dark. For the last 2 minutes we turned on the bubble tube to make it more colourful and relaxing.

French food!!!

Yesterday for cookery we made some French food. We were responsible citizens are all made sure we washed our hands before making our food in the cookery room.  Our theme is France and we created our own Eiffel Tower creations using fruit. We used blueberries, banana and raspberries. The boys added their own fruit to their own tower. They all looked amazing.

We also made our own croissants and pain au chocolat. The boys enjoyed rolling the pasty to create them. We placed them in the oven to cook and the enjoyed them with butter and jam for our snack with the fruit from our Eiffel Tower creations.

Gardening? You can count on it!

With the good weather this week the Transition boys got out into the garden and applied their numeracy skills. The garden needed a tidy and the boys were Effective Contributors collecting the tires and arranging them in pairs. The used their knowledge of the two times table to count the total number of tires. Later in the week our peas needed some support so the boys applied their measuring skills to cut and create a wire support.
