Bears wrote letter to Santa this morning. They used their phonics to sound out unfamiliar words and practised writing the high frequency words they have been learning. We are looking forward to putting them in the post.
The Bears have started their new book 'Lost and found' by Oliver Jeffers where the boy takes the lost penguin back to the North Pole on a boat. We decided to make our own boats during Forest Schools this afternoon. We split into 2 groups, one group made a large scale boat, big enough for the whole group to fit in. The other learnt about some of the tools that we use in Forest schools and started to make our own wooden boat. We started by sawing the wood using a bill hook. We then split the wood into two pieces, using a bill hook and mallet. Then we started to whittle the shape of the boat using potato peelers and sheeth knives. I'm really looking forward to continuing this project- there's going to be some masterpieces.
The Bears have been measuring capacity this week. We estimated how many non-standard units of sand and water would fit into different sized containers, then measured to see if our estimates were correct. We made sure we filled the containers to the top, to ensure the measurements were correct.
