Spring 2 Week 4

The role play area

ready to open as a Coffee Shop.

For taking turns in different roles...

for eating in with friends...

or for take-away...

picnic at the zoo!

Our zoo designs to keep the wild animals...

and visitors safe!

Our poem 'The Tiger' made us think about animals in captivity.

We even wrote to the zoo to send us a pet!

And thought how it might be transported.

We continued to explore den making..

with a challenge..

to construct a ,Reading Den'...

to share stories

together...

with friends.

Exploring how our resources can be used...

and combined..

in imaginative ways...

to express our own ideas.

We began to work in our garden, watering

and planting

and setting up our 'Nature Table'.

Our 'Muddle-up Fairy' kept mixing up our number line

and inspired a fairy tea party..

to be created..

in a fairy garden area.

We had opportunities to initiate our own ideas in finger gym..

in 'The Maker Space'...

at the painting table...

and in the sand and water areas.

Great to be able to read..

and write outdoors!

Learning about 6 with bean bags

aiming and scoring.

Spring 2 Week 3

We loved being back...

with our friends in school...

working together...

to explore den making...

with fabrics and pegs...

and testing them out.

We constructed together...

outside with the big blocks...

listening to each others' ideas.

We booked driving lessons...

and calmed the crying baby in the home corner.

Our story 'Dear Zoo' helped us think about transporting wild animals...

to the zoo.

We worked together to construct enclosures...

to create safe habitats...

and added signs for the zoo visitors.

The 'muddle-up fairy' kept muddling up numbers to 10!

In the maker space creating a monkey cave.

Making tasty treats for our role play...

take away coffee shop; coming soon!

Spring 2 Week 2

The 'Tiny Five' minibeast hunt!

We have retold Handa's Surprise...

and sequenced the story.

Was your favourite bit at the beginning...

in the middle...

or at the end of the story?

We prepared five delicious fruits...

using our peeling & chopping skills...

to make a colourful fruit salad.

We thought about Handa...

and how her home...

is different...

to ours in many ways.

We took photographs...

of our local area...

and found out about children around the world.

We repurposed old packaging...

to make toys like Handa has...

such as recycled robots...

to help with recycling...

and tanks that fire rubbish at the enemy!

With one week to go...

to prepare for school...

we played with our mini friends,,,

took the register...

set up the class...

with good listening...

and books for everyone...

ready for story time.

Welcome back...

to Class 1!

Exploring number bonds for 10.

Spring 2 Week 1

We went to Africa...

on safari...

to spot the 'Ugly Five'

and other wild animals.

We used non-fiction books...

to find out lots of amazing facts...

about different wild animals.

Our big cat masks...

with whiskers...

were shared on screen...

and we had to guess who?

We thought of clues...

and adjectives to describe animals...

for a 'Who am I?' book.

We selected appropriate resources...

and explored different ways...

to design and make...

African style instruments.

We decided how they could be played...

and wrote the instructions...

We played them together in our groups...

and were proud of our designs!

We learned about the days of the week...

ordered them...

and made plans.

This week we were measuring...

by length...

and height.

Some things were tricky to measure!

We had a go at weaving...

making patterns...

using different materials...

including cut up shorts...

natural materials...

rafia...

and paper.

An idea for using the offcuts!

Sunshine at last!

Look-we had the same idea...

chalking outdoors.

Spring 1 Week 6

We found a lost penguin...

thought what we would need..

to pack a bag to take him home.

We used atlases to find out

where he lived...

and planned a route south.

We planned..

and created

polar small world landscapes...

using different media..

and found out about...

the animals that live...

in the Arctic...

and the Antarctic.

We used a globe...

to find lots of interesting places...

to visit on our journey...

from pole to pole.

We set up a 'Penguin Rescue' centre...

to look after the penguin...

and other polar animals.

We examined and diagnosed..

performed an operation!

Healed and ready to travel..

with the snail and the whale...

over, under & through...

in wild places..

in wet, wild, windy weather

across frozen floods..

dressed warmly for

the freezing temperatures!

Our weather reporters..

warned of an Arctic blast!

Now the penguin has a problem to solve...

how to release the dinosaurs

and people trapped in the ice?

Luckily, Brody the penguin is very helpful...

like the girls...

and boys in Class 1!

Who are great at maths too!

Spring 1 Week 5

Lots of 2D shape rockets...

ready to take off...

and explore the galaxy!

amazing how 3 triangles,

3 squares and a rectangle

can create so many different

rockets (with a few circles...

& stars too!)

Instructions to construct 3D shape rockets...

using a cone, a cylinder & a cuboid!

Spaceship designers using

more than 10 components..

in so many ways!

Symmetrical craft from Lego...

blueprints...

step by step diagrams..

for final models...

using sticklebricks

as well as...

junk modelling...

and craft resources.

Listing what we need...

to pack up everything;

in an astronaut's handbag...

to travel into space!

Our intrepid explorers...

visit the teddy Space Station...

on their way to the moon...

and around our solar system...

We imagined strange landscapes of planets from other solar systems;

including the planet 'Gigglepump'!

and the planet 'Mushroom-Smith'!

Our ideas developed
