We have been looking after some stick insects in our classroom and we all got the change to hold them. Oliver thought they were very soft to hold but Christopher thought they were tickly.
In maths we sorted a packet of sweets using colours and organised each colour into straight lines so we could compare them. Callum sorted the yellow sweets and that was the longest line. We worked together in small groups to make a pictogram of our bug hunt results and Maris noticed that we found the most woodlice. We also used a computer game to show the results of our bug hunt which Findlay enjoyed.
In number we have been using our large ten frame to show numbers to 10 using our bodies and to help with subtraction.
We worked in small groups to sequence the life cycle of different minibeasts (ladybird, butterfly, honey bee and ant). Brodie thinks his group worked well together so everyone got a turn.
During outdoor learning with Ms Ferguson we were clearing the nursery garden of weeds ready to plant some new flowers.
In art, we created snail pictures using collage in the style of Henri Matisse. Kaila enjoyed making her snail pictures.
I was very impressed with how gentle you all were with the stick insects – and how brave as I know that some of you didn’t want to touch them but eventually everyone had a go!
Loved hearing what children have been up to. Especially enjoyed the photos.
