The Pioneers have enjoyed lots of opportunities to measure. They took great care pouring and filling. They have estimated quantities when making bread. They took the scales to the forest to compare their forest finds. They are constantly building,inside and out,horizontally and vertically.
Lots of chat and working together and full focus and concentration.
Such Happy Learning.
Our world is full of things to count,inside and out. Pioneers love to tip things out and count and order and compare. We have made numberlines on the carpet and in the forest. We have started drawing and counting and using numberframes,on the table and on the whiteboard. We are starting to use = and + and write number sentences.
That’s Maths Magic!
Happy Reading Pioneers
On the shelf and in the box,here are this week’s featured texts.
Dough is always a favourite in the Pioneer Class. After reading the Little Red Hen, the children made their own dough. Each child had their own portion.There is so much learning to be done,making comparisons and considering ingredients.It takes a lot of communication and understanding to work alongside others and share the space and to clean up afterwards.
Go Pioneers
The Pioneers spent time exploring the potential of paint,mixing blues and greens. They used a selection of tools to move and mix the colour. There was silence in the room while they worked their magic.
Our Forest is the most magical place and the Pioneers loved being there. We set boundaries and looked for hazards. We painted and we played. We counted and collected. The whole day was so beautiful that we forgot about going indoors!
It is so great when the world is your classroom.
In Explorers Class we are talking about people who help us. Our week began talking about how Mummy and daddy help us at home. We then spoke about different jobs and people who help us. We have added some dressing up of different occupations to our role play area, such as firemen, policemen, nurses, doctors and we have already had lots of fire fighters this week! The children have looked at pictures of a person and a vehicle which are of a different occupation and have matched them together. The children have also picked an occupation they would like to be and made a hat to use during more imaginary play. For the final week of term we will change the role play equipment to different job types, so wait to see who we will be next week!
Welcome back Explorers! !The children have had a lovely morning getting back into the swing of things. All areas have been explored by the children and we had had some fantastic paintings, drawings, buildings and snacks made for Miss Idle and Mrs Bland. Here are some photos of our first day back.
Hello Explorers, I’ve found a very special poem that I wanted to share with you. We will miss you all and are very proud of you.
