What a marvellous afternoon of music making we enjoyed today!
Our first activity involved word making using stones and we were amazed at just how many words we could make out of ten stones!
We then focused on investigating rhythms …. and after that we moved on to creating some wonderful sounds using natural materials. I am sure you will agree we sound great!
Despite the strange weather this afternoon we managed to pack in plenty of learning outside using lots of natural materials. We explored patterns in multiplication tables, consolidated our understanding of place value and extended that into some challenging mental maths problems.
We then moved on to making buttercup trees working together in teams to collect buttercups and exchange for twigs and sticks via our buttercup, stick and branch shops. 😊
The weather threatened to soak us for the whole afternoon, but we were very fortunate that it decided to spare us and let us enjoy a dry session outdoors!
We started off discussing colour, how colours change, shades of different colours and names of different colours. This was a great extension of the learning we had been doing in class with Miss Trouten earlier on in the day on Van Gogh.
After that we used some old supermarket brochures and worked on some colour matching. It really is amazing how many different colours we found outside in nature.
We then moved on to create some daisies and our own flowers using very little paint and natural paintbrushes, like buttercups, wild plantain and daisies themselves! I am sure you will agree our creations are fabulous!
