This term the children made sand castles using measuring jugs and calculated the total volume from the measurements made. This led to children choosing to independently measure height, circumference, perimeter and area in their castles. Once we were done we shared our ideas and talked about how we worked our the capacity/total volume of our castles. The children used teamwork, problem solving and lots of mental arithmetic!
We have been making 2D and 3D shapes outdoors today. You can see cubes, prisms, pyramids, trapeziums, rhombuses and kites! Miss Solomon was really impressed by the problem solving and teamwork today!
After we were done we got to play in the woodlands. Tom, Jamie, Ethan, Joshua and Richelle and Isla liked cooking in the mud kitchen, Owen and Ethan made some bigger 3D shapes and moved furniture inside and Imogen has made trap to protect her den.
Mr Dwane was very kind and generous to make us a nice mud kitchen to play in which we called ‘The Bananas Made from Bananas’. We play like it’s a real kitchen and we make loads of food for our friends and teachers. Imogen likes the little shelves that have tubs in them and she uses bark as pretend steak, mud for gravy and little sticks as chips. We made a fruit salad out of leaves. We like playing in it because it’s really fun and we are practicing for when we are older. Don’t really eat the stuff we make or you’ll be sick.
