A little fun in the woods!

 On Wednesday, we decided to do a little den building, music making and marshmallow eating!

The Bears showed fantastic teamwork, tieing the rope around the trees, then testing tarpaulins for size and putting it in place. They then worked together to hammer in 'pegs' (sticks) to secure the den in place.






We also had some musicians, creating their own music, experimenting to make different sounds using a variety of materials they found in the woods. 





We finished by enjoying some marshmallows in our den and then listening to the performance by the band and having a little boogy to the music.

We then practiced our 'mark making', drawing our space rockets with chalks and pretending to be rockets flying into space.  In our topic Marvellous Machines, w...

Odds and evens investigation

 Today, we've been investigating which numbers are odd and which are even. The children went into the mud kitchen area and counted out flowers, sticks, bugs etc. then split each number of objects into 2 groups to see if they could be shared equally. They then recorded their findings and looked for patterns.  Sharing 3 flowers into 2 groups Looking for bugs to share. Checking to see if one flower can be shared into 2 groups. Recording their findings. Sharing pebbles into 2 baskets.

Good morning!

Good morning Bears. I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend. Just wanted to say how much I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve been doing. Don’t forget to share your learning with us on here and add observations to Tapestry. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with by emailing me. Don’t forget to get out in the garden and share what learning you’ve been doing there too. I’m going to share some links to some free audio books on the home learning document for you to enjoy also. Happy home schooling! Miss Furness
