More time outdoors

We started off today arranging ourselves into a pentagon and we did a brilliant job. Learning from previous weeks we identified the people who would be corners then made straight lines between them.

We then had great fun with lots of laughing as we played some concentration games building up a sequence of moves and sounds that we passed around the pentagon.

Our next job was to sort our whole class into order of birthdays….it was made easier by first sorting ourselves into months, then sorting out the dates in each month.

We took a couple of minutes to lie back and enjoy gazing at the clouds this afternoon too. It’s so interesting to watch them move and change shape.

 

The work we started on time last week was continued today by making our own clocks then matching digital times for quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour.

 

Outdoor time

The weather was beautiful for us today for our outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly. 🌞 We made sure we did some activities in the shade too, as it got really warm as the day went on.

We started off by searching for circles all around us before arranging ourselves into a circle around the base and learning that the distance between the centre of a circle and the side of a circle is called the radius.

Our warm up games today were all about direction and we played a few games passing a ball in a clockwise direction after remembering which hand is left and which is right. 🀲🏽

We then moved on to creating a giant clock to help us remember how far each hand moves around the clock every hour.

We played some matching games to show we know how to read the time on both analogue and digital clocks too.
