May Day!

Pinch, punch, first of the month! 

Hope you’re all rested and ready for another exciting day of learning. My walk this morning was a bit soggy so I’ve found a soggy rain art activity that I thought you might enjoy.



To make rainbow rainy day art you need some washable markers, water colour paper/card/thick paper.
Instructions
  1. Children draw a rainbow, creating artwork and doodles using all of the colours of the rainbow in any way they choose.
  2. Place your rainbow drawing out in the rain and watch what happens. 
  3. Pick up your rainbow rainy day art and carefully bring it inside to allow to dry. Hold it as flat as possible when you carry it in–watch out it can drip!
  4. The colors may shift and change depending on how much water is on the paper. Watching the colors move on wet paper is also fun.
Enjoy!
I hope you have a great day, whatever you get up to. Looking forward to hearing all about your days. Good luck with the scone making Ted, that will be a tasty lunch!

 Stay safe and look after each other.

Comparing numbers to 10

Image
 The receptions have been comparing numbers to 10 in lots of different ways this week. They've thrown beanbags and quoits into a hoop and compared who had landed the most. And compared who rolled the most balls into a hoop. They've competed to see who could thread the largest amount of bobbins in a minute. And sorted bobbins into colours and compared the amounts.

The Extraordinarily Gardener

Image
 The children have been getting stuck into our new book- The Extraordinary Gardener this week. Before reading the story, we used our inference and thought about why the character might be extraordinary. The children decided it must be because of all the unusual creatures and plants growing on the front cover. They didn't think that a child gardening was extraordinary as they all enjoy gardening themselves. In the story, Joe is very creative and creates all sorts of interesting creatures and plants to make the world more exciting. The children have created their own plants and creatures with extraordinary features using various different material. They then wrote about their features and what species they are.

Lost and found

Image
 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.
