Mental maths fun

Collecting  the resources for our outdoor activities today was great fun…and a little challenging. We had to find sticks and compare their lengths before deciding if they would be ‘branches’ or ‘twigs’, then we collected some buttercups from the buttercup kingdom, as one of the children named it to day!

We then went on to play a team game involving mental maths skills which also helped develop our understanding of exchange and place value.

We had three great bank managers for the buttercup bank, the twig bank and the branch bank. It was fabulous to hear their customer service skills develop so naturally as we played the game too!

Colour analysis and matching

Today we spent a lovely morning out in the warmth and sunshine. Well done to everyone who wore a sun hat and remembered sun cream.

We spent time studying our surroundings very carefully and were all really surprised at just how many different colours are in our environment right in front of us! We did some colour matching using some old supermarket brochures and found lots of matches!

After that we looked closely at daisies, then used a daisy to create some beautiful paintings. What a happy buzz there was this morning during our outdoor learning session. 🌼
