The children have had a fantastic week engaging in lots of new learning.\u00a0 Through group discussion the children observed that we have had a lot of rainy days.\u00a0 They spoke about splashing in puddles and wearing their wellies.\u00a0 This opened up the children\u2019s curiosity to find out more about where rain comes from and how it is formed.\u00a0 The children listened to a story called the Rainy Day and watched a children\u2019s science documentary which explained the cycle of water.\u00a0 Through this the children learned how that the water cycle consists of four main processes which are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.\u00a0 In order to enhance the children\u2019s learning we decided to make our own water cycle diagram which illustrates this process.\u00a0 Some of the children also made their own art work which illustrated and interpreted their understanding.\u00a0 It has been wonderful to listen to the children use scientific terms to describe their work.\u00a0 Furthermore we now plan to track how much rain water falls on a weekly basis. We have placed several buckets in the garden and will measure the water each week, we will keep you updated on this.\u00a0 Please also look out for some of our fantastic science experiments which will follow in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Following on from our mini beast madness blog the children have continued to make butterflies and have chatted a lot about symmetry.\u00a0 In order to extend the children\u2019s learning they have been participating in lots of smart board activities which looked at matching shapes and patterns.\u00a0 The children really enjoyed this and were fantastic at matching the corresponding pattern.\u00a0 The children have also been busy making various symmetrical pictures.\u00a0 They have worked collaboratively and have displayed good problem solving skills.\u00a0 They have also used squared paper to make their own symmetrical pattern, which is amazing.\u00a0 This has been a fantastic week for fun mathematical and science learning.\u00a0 Well done everyone!<\/p>\n
