“Humpty Dumpty was in the den,Scottish Adventures
Outdoors this week we have had fun and used our creative skills to make and explore Scottish landscapes, with lochs, waterfalls and our very own Nessie.
Shape
Currently our numeracy and mathematics focus is 2D shapes and 3D objects.
The children have been exploring this concept in lots of different ways in the nursery.
See if you can spot different shapes and objects at home and out and about. At lunch time we noticed that some of our sandwiches are rectangles and some are triangles.
I was posting shapes into the shape monsters!
We noticed that our outdoor number logs are circles.
We noticed that balls, or spheres, roll.
We can use different shaped objects to build. Shapes with round edges are harder to build with.
We decorated circle plates.
We used small cubes to build a mountain range and a pyramid. We love being creative in our maths learning!
**Digital Learning**
Primary 6 have been sharing their learning with the Nursery.
Together we used Sphero Mini which is a robot that connects to an app on the ipad and walkie talkies.
We had to communicate instructions to each other to find the hidden object.
***Fun In The Snow***
We constructed a snow castle using a washing bowl, small and large cones and crates.
“We can fill up the cones to make towers”
“Let’s make a giant one with this one”
“We are making a snow castle”
“Look, I can make a pattern with this spoon…and this tennis racquet”
***TECHNOLOGY***
We have been learning about all different types of technology. We are using an ipad today. We selected the games room icon. You can choose how many pieces you would like to try. It starts with eight pieces and after a little while some of us tried the next levels which were 16 then…..24 then……36 then…..it goes right up to 250 piecies!
“I’m using technology”
“I did eight first”
“I can learn next number 16”
***HAPPY NEW YEAR***
Welcome Back!
We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
We are posting this ourselves onto the blog!
****Problem Solving****
We have been working together to make a zip slide with rope and Nursery equipment. We have also been working out how to make a see saw from a plank of wood and a tree stump.
