They used their knowledge to ensure the animals had the correct things to keep them safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today Innes, Flora, Rosie and Florence were practicing bridges. \u201cYou need to lift your head up a bit more so it makes you stronger.\u201d Rosie was giving some advice on how to\u00a0 <\/span>keep a bridge for longer as she recalled her knowledge from gymnastics. Before practicing bridges the group of children did some stretches. \u201cWe need to stretch because it helps you when you exercise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today outside Joni drew a picture starting off with a sun and diamonds. Joni moved on to drawing a star and independently recognised her achievements by saying. \u201cLook I\u2019ve drawn a proper star for the very first time.\u201d Great work Joni \u2b50<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today inside Jude was working with a peer to put away the dishes from the dishwasher after it finished its cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robin has created his own high tech mobile phone! Using his memory to think about what apps mummy has on her phone, Robin created a range of different buttons and spoke an adult through what the function of each one was. <\/span>\u201cThis one is your steps, this is the shopping app, the 5 is the time because I know how to draw 5. This is to put the volume up and down and that one is the music button. You can spell with it too! There\u2019s a mouse where I can find my pet if I lose it \ud83d\udc2d I have a map if I don\u2019t know where I am. The train tells you when you are late and need to go for your train. <\/span>There\u2019s a games button and you can phone people with this one and to turn it off, you can also see pictures you take. There\u2019s an airplane to see when I\u2019m going on holiday\u201d Amazing work Robin! \ud83d\udcf1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday 16th May<\/h2>\n

Today outside George enjoyed playing in the car. He identified there was no steering wheel so used his creativity and used one from our loose parts. George was able to discuss the steering wheel was from a real life car and he was going on an adventure to \u201cthe animal centre it\u2019s like the zoo. But a different type of zoo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today outside Robin and Leo were exploring forces through the cardboard tubes. They placed some of the farm animals down the tube and discovered they weren\u2019t coming out of the bottom. After a lot of problem solving and discussing the boys decided to try something smaller and uncovered that the smaller objects worked better and went further out of the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
