Autumn in Early Years

 

 

Conker rolling to make wonderful pictures!

 

 

Scientific Enquiry in Early Years

 How far can you make your conker roll? How can we measure that?

Why do some conkers roll further than others? What we can we change to make our conker roll further?

 

 

 

 

 

                  We listened to The Bear Hunt story. We retold it using instruments for sound effects.

 

 

 

 

 

We explored how different objects make different sounds such as rice, conkers, lentils and fir cones. We asked why they made different sounds and how we could change the sounds they made. The children suggested that feathers wouldn't make a sound because they were "soft and fluffy". 

We used what we found out to make choices for our own shakers which we had lots of fun playing in rhythm to our favourite songs and rhymes.

 

 

We explored making different sounds with our voices too.
