We were hunting for autumn treasures we found apples, seeds and leaves. We used our maths skills to compare the different shapes, sizes and types of leaves. Then we sorted them.

We were using our counting and number skills when collecting worms and playing games.

“ I had 4 worms but I lost 1 so now I have 3.”

We made up a game to help practice numbers. “If we say a number you have to jump to that number.”

We enjoyed playing what’s the time Mr Wolf.

Exploring shape and using the logs to make a circle.

We were having a race with the tyres and looked at how we could make them go faster. We made a ramp and that worked well!

We used our literacy skills and created our own story corner. We made up and shared our own spooky stories about skeletons, werewolves and pumpkins.

 

 

We had a lovely time today down in the woodland in P1b and found lots of different things to explore and share with others.

We were testing out different surfaces, some are hard and some are soft.

We used lots of good words beginning with S to describe the mud like soft, sticky, squelchy and slimy .

We checked surfaces to see how slippy they were helping to keep each other safe.

We enjoyed swinging, rolling and balancing.

We went on a bug hunt and compared the length and thickness of lots of different worms.

We used the sticks to build up the roof in our willow dome
and put some together to make shapes.

”This is like a triangle.”

We used the binoculars to see up high in the trees
and looked at how all the leaves are changing.

And enjoyed making mud cupcakes in our cafe.

We had a great time working together and helping each other.

We had great fun exploring different areas of the woodland, using our imaginations to create roles, share recipies, adventures and creations. We enjoyed working together and sharing our thoughts and ideas with each other. Here are some we have captured to share with you………

“ You look through it and it makes things bigger.”

“A hot chocolate puddle.”

“I like splashing.”

“It’s a chocolate pie for you.”

“Let’s see how deep this one is.”

“We have made a fountain, you can use it to move the apples.”

“We are scientists.”

We counted the number of swings and counted all the way up to 101, helping each other with which number came next.

“In autumn the leaves fall off the trees.”

“ Here is some lettuce.”

” The apple is turning red and the leaves are all squishy.”

” This is coriander.”

Finding worms

“Look I have one too.”

“Follow me.”

Our new rope swing slide, you need to use your feet as brakes!

“We can use the stick to help get it out.”

” I like climbing.”

“This is my restuarant, I sell everything, I have loads to drink, it is the best restuarant ever. What would you like to order?”

Making mud chocolate cakes.

Exploring inside the tipee and working together making apple pepper spray.

 

P1a had great fun down in the woodland exploring nature, working together, problem solving and making up games. Here are some moments we have captured to share with you……..

Teamwork – We helped each other to move things around and when we got stuck in the mud!

“A magic door.”

“ I will help you with the door.”

“ It goes faster when someone pushes you.”

“Let’s push together.”

Problem solving – We worked out we would need to un- twirl the rope to change direction to  prevent us from hitting the tree.

 

 

“We put our apple pie in the oven.” 

We looked at the shapes and different patterns we made with our wellies.

“I am painting the log with mud.”

“We created our own game, this is the safe bit.”

Creating magic potions.

” I am climbing like a monkey.”
