Yesterday, we explored the outdoors, creating and listening to the sounds in nature- just like the sounds Ning heard on her journey through the forest.
We listened to...
Dripping water
Thudding rocks
Snapping twigs
Crunching leaves
We then used our phonics to Fred talk and write down the sounds we could hear.
After break time, the children found footprints outside our classroom and a some things hidden under the mat in our classroom. There was a map, mayonnaise, a magnet, milk, and the letter 'm'. The children discovered that everything started with the 'm' and must belong to Max from our new story 'where the wild things are'. We then sorted other objects into things that begin with 'm' and things that don't . The Bears enjoyed making boats, like the private boat Max sailed in, and testing them in the water to see if they floated.
Wow! What a great week we're having. This morning, the Bears made an apple pie together. They worked together to peel and chop the apples as well as measuring out and making the pastry for the pie. After laying out the pastry in the dish and adding the apples, they then washed up and dryed all the equipment as a team.
