Goldilocks and the three bears

Last week, our story of the week was Goldilocks and the three bears. This week the children will be able to explore lots of activities within the provision. They have already been very excited to take part in activities such as cut and stick porridge, retelling the story using puppets, writing sorry letters to the three bears, making and tasting porridge, building chairs for the three bears and a gummy bear science experiment.

Zero the hero

This week we have been looking at recognising and representing zero alongside subitising numbers up to 5. The children have been working in groups, partners and independently to identify zero and not zero.

Here is a link to a song we have been singing during our maths lessons:

Ice

Today, the children noticed that there was a branch frozen in one of our tuff spots that had filled with water. They were amazed by the ice on the branches and how smooth the ice felt. We thought about how to melt the ice. Some children thought they could smash it to melt it so they experimented with this. Others held it in their hands noticing how the ice turned into water. Some of the children left some toys in a bowl of water to see if it would freeze overnight. It was wonderful to see the children exploring, investigating and using their wider vocabulary in their play.
