After our farm visit, the children have been recalling the animals we saw and what we did.

We made our own big book about our farm visit, using whole sentences to describe what we had seen.

We have been learning the name of adult farm animals and their young by playing snap and building adults and babies with our Duplo blocks. The children were very interested in a question asked by one of our children "What is a baby turkey called?" We talked about where we could find out. Some children suggested asking a farmer, others said that we could look on the internet or in a book. Why don't you see if your child can remember what we found out or if you can find out together?

 

Our beans are really growing now. We have made observational drawings of how they have grown, using words like roots, stem and seed. 

We have used Numicon to make number sentences, as well as making our number sentences using loom bands slipped onto a lolly stick.

 

 

 

We also used Numicon in the playdough and used a toy hammer to flatten each bump as we counted to make sure we counted all the bumps to find out how many each Numicon was worth.

 

 

We've had lots of fun with our letters this week. We used the alphabet stones to spell our names in the digger tray. We had lots of fun on our alphabet treasure hunt around the Early Years Garden, spying all the letters hidden around the outdoor area and marking them on our alphabet sheet.

Thank you to all the children and parents for the fantastic Super Hero dress up for Unicef. We really appreciate your generosity and will let you know about how much money we have raised when all the classes have completed their fundraising!
