Playing “Boggle” is a really good way for children to learn to spell and challenge themselves. The children were challenged to make three, four and five letter words using the first letter “V”, ” m”, “s” etc . They then add the letters from the “Boggle” board. We got some great words today! : )
We learned about Mary Anning in drama this week. She discovered fossils and is the inspiration for the tongue twister (she sells sea shells on the sea shore). She sold her fossils at the beach. We were fascinated by her story and made our own fossils with play doh that Mrs Arbuckle had made for us. Fossils are fascinating.
We used sticks to make the bone patterns.
Our patterns on our fossils were beautiful.
We really concentrated to make a good job.
We learn our spelling patterns and phonics through active learning. Mrs Arbuckle bought us new play doh and we got to work!
Some of us have tried to spell using the lollisticks this week. We have to unscramble the letters to make words. It took us a few attempts, but we got there in the end!
Quite often children draw the same thing in the same way again and again, so we tried a dinosaur drawing tutorial today. The children were amazed at how good their results were! 😃🦕🦖
Dominoes are great at teach number shape, taking turns and counting. We played a few games today. Lots of children had never played before! ( They don’t know what they are missing!)
For some children today, our challenge today was to complete the number square jigsaws. They took a lot of concentration, but we got there in the end!
We started to learn joined up writing. Mrs Arbuckle was very surprised at our first attempt as we were so good at it. We were very proud of ourselves.
Mrs Short takes us on a Tuesday morning while Mrs Arbuckle prepares and plans our work. Today we learned about.how buildings are constructed. We had to plan and, design and construct different houses from different materials.
