Class 1 have been exploring joining materials in different ways. One of the many things we have practised is using a stapler. It was a tricky tool to use. #Class1#DT#Art
Class 1 has been working hard on scissor skills this half term! Many of our children are using classroom scissors with increasing independence! #Class1#Art#DT
Emeasured herself against things to see if she was as tall as they were. She stood next to the gate. “ I’m taller than the gate”. “ I’m taller than H and J when I am on the stilts”. #Class1#Maths
Class 1 visited the school office and decided that we needed a new roleplay area! So Class 1's school office has been created with the children. #Class1#drama#English#Geography
J, C and W helped build a windmill out of the blocks from the little red hen. We constructed it together. The children thought about how they could balance the planks to make the sails. C knew that the wheel would work best. #Class1#DT#Science
Class 1 made a car. They worked together to build it. Adding crates, wooden wheels and a steering wheel. They each took it in turns to have a go at driving. #class1#DT#PHSE#maths
This afternoon, I spotted a cherry picker sorting out the wires. We went on a little adventure of discovery. The worker explained he was cutting the trees back to keep the wires safe for us. He went up and down. The children cheered! #class1#geography#phse
Today, the children made thank you cards to give to everyday heroes. We thought about why we are thankful to them. C made a card for Mrs Hands. #class1#Art#writing
The children made thank you cards to give to everyday heroes. We thought about why we are thankful to them. M was able to present this card to the nurses! #class1#Art#PHSE#writing#nhs
The children have been busy pirate shipbuilding. They used the tunnel as a main body of the boat and added wheels to the inside. “ This is the engine” said I. “Let’s add bricks and wooden cubes to it to the top for a steering wheel” said J. #class1#dt#teamwork
M has been mark making in liquid talc. When M noticed that there were 3 cakes he drew three circles to represent them. Well done Monty! #Class1#Maths#markmaking#writing
J has been using the lorries and mud to make cement. J transported the mud with I to the road they were building and tipped it out. J worked with I to ensure enough mud was taken. #Class1#Science#outsidelearning
We spent the morning thinking about how many loose parts we could hold. We estimated how many could hold and explored if the size of the items made a difference. We used 10 frames to work out how many with Miss Langan’s help. #class1#Maths
J has been in our construction site, after putting his helmet on he wheel barrow and filled it with logs and other pieces of wood. We think he is going to build us a new playhouse! #class1#DT
