Here are some of the activities we have been doing in the forest this term. This has included using saws and peelers and learning how to keep safe with these.
The children have also been learning 2D and 3D shape, grouping and sharing.

On Shrove Tuesday the children made pancakes. They were a big success!
As well as improving their baking skills, the children were practising their measuring skills.

Stories of 10
Here is the link to the video we were watching in class which showed the numbers that when added together make ten.
In the Forest
In the forest we used our kellie kettles again to make soup and today we had wholemeal bread with it. Everyone tried the wholemeal bread and the majority of the children liked it. We are encouraging the children to make healthier choices when eating.Â
The children also searched for signs of Autumn and found a variety of leaves and acorns. Once again, there were no conkers from the horse chestnut tree.
The children also played games to help them order numbers and revisit place value.Â
Learning Time
Our First Visit to the Forest
P1/2 enjoyed their first visit to the forest with our helpers Hazel and Mr Howie.
In this visit the children learned safety rules in the forest, made soup with their kellie kettles, made numbers and letters on the ground with different outdoor items and searched for different fungi.
Making Numbers
Here is a link to a game to help you see how numbers are broken down.
Start with TU. Some of you will be able to extend to HTU.
Subtraction
As we have revisited addition and subtraction recently, here are some games you can play at home. Enjoy!
Making Gingerbread Men
We decided to make Gingerbread Men for part our Fairyland Topic. After learning measure in Numeracy, we were able to practise our measuring skills!
