The last few weeks our maths topic has been about measuring. We have learnt about measuring weight, length and height and now our focus this week is measuring capacity/volume. Following the White Rose plans we have made our learning this week very hands on. We have new words that we have been using in our maths talk like;- full, empty, nearly full, half full and nearly empty, milliliters ad litres. We had lots of activites to help develop our leanning. Painting the correct amounts in the cups, making potions to scare off dinosaurs, matching cards and reading a jug scale. Great work MacArthur class!

We had our 2nd week at wild wood today. The children had such a wonderful time, they are all so engaged and didn't want to come out! Some of the children made mud soup, mixing together a selection of sticks, stones, pine cones. Others fished in the pond with Mr Childs, they found some frog spawn! We even got to make our own grass seed caterpillars, we are having a competition with reception to see which can grow the longest hair! To finish we had a story on the logs called 'The Tiny Seed'. This morning MacArthur class had their first outdoor learning session.....a little bit of drizzling rain didn't stop us! Today's session was for us to explore the wood and learn the boundaries.
The children were in their elements, we had some fantastic learning opportunities- holding the chickens, swinging in the hammock, making music, painting in mud and water, observing the pond, using sticks and branches to weave. The children worked together really well and some great conversations were had. A gentle reminder that your child will need old shoes/wellies and an old coat every Thursday up until the Easter Holidays! |
