Last week of term

We did some ‘cooking’, we said we were “Making pie” and “Something spicy” that needed “Cooking in the oven for four minutes”.

We hydrated the soil in the polytunnel as it had dried up.

“We’re on a pirate ship, We’re the pirates”.

Mark Making 

 

We have done some amazing drawings this week that have been very detailed and involved speaking about different emotions of the people in each drawing.

“We’re in our bear hunt house”.

We said the bear couldn’t see or catch us from our ‘hidden house’.

We used the new polytunnel for a number hunt, some of us could recognize the big numbers from 10-20.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our tattie guessing game and purchased bags, the total number in the bucket was 230.  Well done to the winner with the closest guess of 205.

We tasted our tatties at snack time and thought they were yummy. We then used some to print in paint to create some great pictures.

Following on from all our tattie

work this week Miss Hay read us a Supertato story.

“Look I found some berries”.

Miss Young  found a rose hip, she cut it open us to see the seeds and to smell.

The autumn coloured rice has been popular this week for scooping, filling and pouring.

We built a den, lots of us could squeeze into it.

We loved Mr Travins singing to us whilst we had our snack.

“This is the airplane,We’re going to Africa”.

We had our gym lesson outdoors again, we did lots of energetic play, games and used great imagination and skills with the balls and the hoops.

We’ve been busy at the block play area making “hay for the horse” and “A Castle”, we did great team work to problem solve and  build.

We baked some cupcakes to end the week and use up cupboard ingredients, we looked carefully at the scales to weigh each ingredient out in grams.

Our community

 

The children have enjoyed creating ‘Our Community’ wall display. We found pictures of different places in Whiteness and Weisdale. The children have enjoyed putting their own houses, sheeps and trees onto the map as well. They created the grass by doing feet and hand printing. They then created the sky by using sponges. They had so much fun doing this.

Learning about Dinosaurs and Volcanos

The barins have loved learning all about different types of dinosaurs and making lovely wall displays with their artwork. We have also been learning about volcanos, and we did an experiment that looked like a real volcano. One of the barins took in a lava rock that was found in Shetland a long time ago, it was very interesting and everyone had lots of questions.

We’ve enjoyed some Christmas activities today!

We all helped to decorate our tree, and make our Santa and Rudolf wall display.

We enjoyed making snowmen with the white sparkly playdough using loose parts for the eyes, arms and buttons. Lots of us liked playing in the water tray, and at the block play area. It’s been a busy day!
