Some children were busy using their skills in money recognition whilst helping to count out how much money was made from that mornings sales.<\/p>\n “that’s 10p, that’s 20p. and\u00a0 that’s 50p”<\/p>\n “50+50=100”<\/p>\n While another child counted the total coins,<\/p>\n “we’ve got 13 coins”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some children also helped to prepare the shop by using their skills to mark make out the prices list.<\/p>\n The children have continued their learning topic of money by creating a mind map that has recorded\u00a0 their understanding of money. This is displayed around by the items for sale for you to see.\u00a0 Some children were able to explain where money comes from, and how we need to save money too. Some children have engaged in games on the smart board that has encourage their skills to recognise values of coins and to do simple addition to total up the coins in the bank<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A group of children have been exploring the junk modelling area to create a range of different style of houses. They used paints and other decorative materials to be creative, linking their knowledge to their models. This extended to the block area where groups of children have been very creative making castles and linking these to their favourite\u00a0 Disney princesses. Some children experienced using\u00a0 gingerbread cloud dough which is a festive sensory experience.\u00a0 The children confidently shared their thoughts and feelings on this using the correct language to describe. Through the week the children have been very busy writing Christmas cards for their friends and family. Recalling to add their house number and addresses on the envelopes. A group of children on Friday enjoyed creating outfits using paper sticky tape, foil and wool to become mermaids and other imaginative characters to further deepen their play.<\/p>\n On Tuesday a group of children engaged in an activity to size order using a range of Christmas themed images.\u00a0 They displayed kills to match into sets,\u00a0 and then order in size from the littlest to the biggest, or bigger to smaller. They were also displaying skills to use the correct language to describe them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outside some children enjoyed playing in all weathers especially the rain. Some decided to create model super cars. Some used the mud kitchen to create a range of different foods that brought experiences seen, heard into their play. One child used skills to investigate what happens to the cardboard box if put into water. He confidently shared his findings with others…<\/p>\n “It’s falling apart, because the water…. it will go into pieces.”<\/p>\n Throughout the week the children have been revisiting the Learning wall topic of Story books, sharing what they have learnt. They are learning to contribute to the evaluation of this learning topic with our Early Years Development officer Miss McPhail.
