Ten Green Bottles

This week we have been continuing with the theme of 'green.' In Maths we sang the song Ten Green Bottles and recorded in different ways how many bottles were left. We used whiteboards to represent numbers as digits or pictures and numicon to explore different ways of making numbers. We also sang Five Green and Speckled Frogs and used our fingers to show how many were left.

In Understanding of the World we have been using the computers to draw pictures. The children had to use the mouse to select the colour they wanted by clicking. The children did well remembering to click with  the blue button and they had a good attempt at controlling the mouse.

In P.E. we had the benches, tables and planks out. The children explored different ways of travelling over, under and through the apparatus. They enjoyed crawling down the planks, sliding across the benches and jumping like a frog.

The children have been showing excellent skills of concentration when drawing kiwis and limes. They have been looking carefully at the shapes they can see.

Thank you to all those helpers who came in to help the children make Rainbow Pizzas. The children did a great job of chopping the different coloured vegetables. We hope they enjoyed eating them as much as they did making them.

Next week our sound of the week is 'c'.

Our theme will be 'Rainbows.'

Sharing Assembly

We had a lovely week in Nursery and are feeling very proud of how the children performed in their sharing assemblies. They spoke clearly and enjoyed singing the songs. We hope you enjoyed coming to watch. In Learning through Play this week we have been busy trying to wrap 'presents' in the creative area. We painted pictures of Father Christmas and Rudolph. In the water tray we have enjoyed exploring the fake snow. Next week we will be continuing to learn about Christmas and will be doing some maths problem solving. We will be reading 'The Nutcracker'. In Phonics we will be playing some listening games.

Volcanoes

We have had such a fun week learning about volcanoes. We mixed water, washing up liquid, red colouring and bicarbonate of soda in a bottle. It went a bit bubbly. When we added some vinegar it 'exploded' and looked like a volcano. We also found out about volcanoes by looking at a book about volcanoes. We thought about the questions we wanted to find the answers to and found some fun facts. We found out that lava comes out of a volcano and that some volcanoes are sleeping. We loved watching a video clip of a volcano erupting and watching the lava move along the ground. It was Internet Safety Week this week so we found out how to keep safe when using technology online. We watched a powerpoint about Smartie the Penguin and learnt this song; Before you click, click, click You need to think, think, think and Tell someone. The children were good at being able to say they need to tell a grown up if they see something they are not sure about online. We went to Woodlands even

Growing and Monet

This week we have been learning about the artist Monet. We found out that he lived a long time ago, had a big beard, lived in a pink house and painted by making splodges. We liked looking at one of his waterlily paintings and read the story Katie and the Waterlily Pond. In the Creative Area we used blue, green and lilac tissue paper to collage a background to look like the pond. We cut out lily pads and folded tissue paper on top to make the lilies. Our tadpoles are continuing to grow and by the end of the week we could see some tiny legs growing out the back of the tadpoles. Sophia watched Mrs Keith clean the tadpoles out and she was very concerned that she didn't frighten them. Our plants have been growing in the greenhouse and we have been making sure we have been looking after them by watering them. Some were getting too big for the yoghurt pots so we replanted them. Freya noticed that the plants had roots at the bottom. Reception have been looking after some eggs this we
