Today was hook day. Guess who we found wondering in the outdoor area and then decided to trip trap, trip trap over the bridge? #talkforwriting #mtsstudents #eyfs #discoverleadership #hpl #linkinglions

Today we used the natural materials from our forest school to support us in our maths sessions. We have been looking at subtraction and used the stones to takeaway and see how many we had left. #eyfs #mtsstudents #maths

Today one of the classes found a spider, this prompted some interesting questions followed by observational drawings. #inthemoment #eyfs #mtsstudents #AgileAlligators #HPL #community

We love a busy writing area! Our writing areas provide children with many opportunities to read and write as well as individual challenges. #EYFS #challenge #writing #HPL #mtsstudents

We have been baking cakes for Grandma to make her feel better. Then we wrote a list of the ingredients that we used. #eyfs #writing #HPL #hardworkinghippo #mtsstudents

Cup of tea anyone? Today we made tea in our investigation area. “Miss did you know the different flavours make different colours too” “Miss, is this like the tea that you drink on your break?” ☺️#investigation #eyfs #HPL #linkinglions #realisingrhino #mtsstudents #community

@gems_khail @GEMS_ME What a great investigation!

[MTS_FS @MTSFS_Gemma]

We are so lucky to have a farm at school. This week FS2 made their own art work with the natural materials they collected from their visit. #eyfs #community @metropole_gems @KHDA #mts #mtsstudents #earlyart #discoverleadership #naturewalks #creativecrabs #HPL

One of our challenges this week was to create a bridge for the goats to get across the river. We showed great hard work and meta thinking skills to create many different bridges with different resources. #mtsstudents #discoverleadership #workingtogether #gemsmetropole #hpl

[MTS_FS @MTSFS_Gemma]

During our outdoor session, we adapted our boats and observed what happened as they spent longer in the water. Which boat will the Gingerbread Man use to help him cross the river? #hpl #science #earlyyears #mtsstudents #discoverleadership #gemsmetropole

[MTS_FS @MTSFS_Gemma]

After testing materials last week, this week we have been hard working hippos and created our own boats. We tested them on the river and had to create a plug in the pond so we could watch all the boats together. #HPL #community #discoveradership #earlyyears #mtsstudents

[MTS_FS @MTSFS_Gemma]

Today we have been Meta Thinking Monkeys. We tested different materials to see which one would make the best boat for the Gingerbread man to get across the river. #HPL #mtsstudents #EYFS #investigations #GEMSMetropole #community #discoverleadership

Never underestimate the power of a post it note. #EYFS #earlywriting #phonics #mtsstudents @metropole_gems #community @KHDA #HPL #hardworkinghippos

[MTS_FS @MTSFS_Gemma]

Today we used the black pens and water colours to create our observational drawings of pumpkins. Look at that concentration. ☺️#mtsstudents @metropole_gems #eyfs #khda #science
