This week we have been exploring patterns. We have been talking about colours and shapes and using this knowledge to create our own patterns. Some of us have even drawn our own patterns.
Patterns
All posts by Mrs James
Last week, on one of our frosty days some of us took a wander outside. When we walked on the grass we discovered that the grass was “crunchy” due to the frost. The frost on the outdoor equipment was funny to touch and we squished it with our fingers.
As we entered the woods there wasn’t as much ice. We listened to the story of the Three Little Pigs. We chatted about what materials they used to build their houses and looked around the woods to see what we could use to make little dens for tiny little creatures.
the leaves were “were too soggy”
the sticks “might break”
Numbers 123
We have been ordering our numbers to 10 and beyond. We also had to find the right number and the correct colour on the number stones.
As we were working we sang number songs….our favourite is “5 Little Ducks”.
Measuring – How many? How tall are you?
We have been using cubes, blocks, 2D shapes and sticks to measure how tall we are as well as how tall some objects are around the nursery.
Counting in the Woods
Yesterday we hiked over to the woods at the side of the pitch. On our way to the woods we talked about the story “Going on a Bear Hunt.” We didn’t find any this time.
While we were in the woods we counted leaves on little branches and we also made wands. We found sticks, counted 10 leaves and added them to our magic stick wands.
Before we left the woods we sang some songs including “Rain, rain go away” as the rain had started to fall.
