Butterfly Garden

The Red and Yellow Rooms loved getting out in the butterfly garden as part of our investigations topic this term. They worked hard as a team to pull out some very big weeds to make our garden ready for some new plants.

More Bottle Top Art

We try to add to our creation most days.  There are a lot of screws and bottle tops to be attached!

Subitizing

In Numeracy time we complete knowledge activities as well as developing our strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems.  We have been focusing this term on subitizing in our knowledge development.  This is where we learn patterns of dots and how to recognise how many dots there are quickly.  This helps us to be able to learn how to add groups together and to recognise patterns that numbers make.  Here we are working in pairs against another pair to play snap.  There is a lot of counting still happening with the larger number of dots but we are getting quicker and it is great to have a buddy to check our counting!

Balancing

Look at all the different ways we can use our bodies to balance.

Making Gingerbread

This reading group read a story called 'Making Gingerbread'.  They enjoyed mixing the ingredients and then rolling it out ready to make gingerbread squares.   This was a great group of learners who worked together to make sure these turned out perfectly.
