This week in the malleable area the children have been exploring loose parts within their playdough play. The children made a variety of creations from cats to birds and have shown a particular interest in creating different foods. Within this play we have focused on division and fractions as the children manipulated their makes and explored time as they used a sand timer whilst \u201ccooking\u201d their creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week in the discovery area we have been looking at the mathematical language of \u2018before\u2019 and \u2018after\u2019. The children have been creating their own number grids by adding in the missing numbers and using prior knowledge of numbers to work out what numbers come before and after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat comes before one?\u201d – A.S<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are mixed up\u201d – M.L<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can count up to 100\u201d – J. F<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe six and turns it upside down makes nine\u201d – R.N<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe missing numbers are; 3, 5 and 10\u201d – R.N<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s count them all\u201d – A.S<\/span>\u201cI have 1 tower but 7 blocks\u201d – J.Mc<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a> \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Within the sewing area the children have been designing and creating\u00a0 their own stuffed animals.\u00a0 They Began the process by drawing out their idea and then transferring it to their chosen material before cutting it out to sew it by hand. The children then completed it\u00a0 by stuffing it and sewing it closed. The children have various levels of sewing experience and were keen to showcase this :)!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
