Outside today we had an amazing time searching for minibeasts. We started off by playing a game to name as many mini beasts as we knew. I am sure you agree we came up with quite a list.
We then went out and investigated the area to find where the minibeasts hung out. Lots were found hiding in trees and many of us thought they were there to shelter from the rain.
After having a talk together about what kind of beasts we saw ( a lot of slugs and snails today, we concluded they must like the rain) we worked in pairs to collect a mini beast to study and observe.
There were lots of incredible discussions on how they moved and how their bodies were patterned as everyone worked excitedly in the rain.
Finally we drew diagrams and labelled the most important features we noticed about our mini beasts.
Today we had some great fun outside working together exploring the area and noting down adjectives using our marvellous new hi-tech clipboards!
Then we searched for stones with adjectives written on them and thought of lots of nouns beginning with the same sound as the adjective….some were easier that others!
Finally we spelled out our own adjectives using sticks.
We had quite a mixed bag of weather today for our outdoor learning session, from cloudy to rainy to sunny and back again!! ⛅️ ☔️ 🌞
On our way out we chanted up and down through multiples of ten before playing some games to help us remember how to count up and down in tens.
We then placed lots of numbers in the correct place on a giant number line noticing which multiple of ten we were nearest to.
After that we rounded numbers to the nearest ten.
Then sorted all the numbers in front of their nearest ten.
Our final challenge was was to find the numbers that were in the wrong place…this proved quite tricky, so we will practise this again next time
