Nature observations and orienteering games

What a difference a week makes with the weather, today was glorious and we were outside all morning without our jackets!

On our way out to start our day we noticed some beautiful webs and even a field full of them when we reached the back of the pitch. What clever little creatures they are creating such beautiful and intricate webs. 🕷

We then moved on to revising addition strategies playing team games before moving on to some orienteering games. In teams we matched numbers on a clock face to our list and found lots of outdoor nouns written on stones then worked together to note down alliterative adjectives to match them.

our final game involved using a map to locate numbered balls. We learned about how important it is to identify where north is and to hold your map the correct way round!

As well as all this, some of us found some beautiful creatures crawling and squirming enjoying the sunshine just like us! 🌞

 

Star Writers

Here are our December Star Writers, everyone has been working on creating so super stories, poems and instructions. We are trying hard to focus on using adjectives as well as remembering and using our spelling rules to help spell words correctly. As always, we are thinking about our handwriting and spacing too.
