A little insight into what we got up to throughout the month of December..
As it now becomes darker earlier in the afternoon, we have been looking at ways to access the outdoor environment safely. The children have been given the opportunity to use different light resources such as torches to continue their play. The children investigated light and shadow through this experience.
TCH 0-01a – I enjoy playing with and exploring technologies.
SCN 0-04a – I have used appliances and I am learning what makes it work.
The children have been using the small iPads to take pictures of shape and numerals throughout the playroom. They were able to share with their peers and staff their findings and begin to talk about what shapes and numbers they had took images of.
Technologies 0-04b – I enjoy using a camera to take photographs.
Numeracy 0-02a/0-03a – I explore numerals. (nov planning)
Numeracy 0-16a – I explore shape. (dec planning).
Using the promethean board and the drawing feature on seesaw, the children have created their own people and shape monsters using the drawing and shape tools.
Links to curriculum:
NUM 0-16a – I am creative with 2D shapes and 3D shapes. (planning – Dec).
Technologies 0-03a – I use software to create pictures.
The children have been really enjoying our new digital camera to take pictures of their friends and objects/items in the room.
Technologies 0-04b – I enjoy using a camera to take pictures.
In line with our story of the month ‘Stick Man’, some of the children went on a winter walk to the local woods to collect sticks to use for creative play back at the nursery. Throughout the week, some children created their very own stick man by using the collected sticks, natural materials such as leaves and flowers.
The children have listened to the story in different environments such as the campus library and the woods.
