Why I love my mummy.

This week started very playfully with the children focusing on a lot of group play.
We have been looking at shape in the environment, exploring a lot of physical play and continuing our investigation of looking at brands. 

Making a rocket together. 

Searching for dropped leaves, as we are learning not to pick living plants. 

How to store them

Do they still need water? This provoked an interesting conversation about the life cycle. 

How far can we push balance.

What a brand can tell you.

Which room would this belong in?

The children were excited for their reward. They chose to go for a doughnut with their friends at the cafe.This has been a pleasant social event, away from class, and almost school. 

Sticky fingers ensued. 

Designing our own ice creams. 

...and paying for them. 

Child initiated group play. 

Where can we race the bikes?

A model building session, mainly focused on Iron man!

Peam's work took on many new forms. He developed his work so much he needed to support the paper further. 

Goldilocks loves porridge, so we thought we would try some too. 

Learning about measuring

Turn taking. 

Achieving a mutual goal. 

Finally we get to taste it!

As we have learnt about /c/ and /k/ the next step was to move onto /ck/ so we went for a kiCK around !

Shape hunting at break time.The children bring their own ideas to the table. 

usually involving many different children. 

After all, shapes are everywhere. 

Big and small. 

From making ice creams to investigating volume and change. 

Also being responsible for our mess, the children do this naturally now. 

A maths shape investigation. 

Helping design our grotto, we're very excited for Christmas. 

Designing an assault course. You can do this at home too!

Using whichever materials you feel fit. 

It was great to practice two footed jumps.

Rich showed great teamwork helping Ploy up the slide. It was the first time Ploy had tried to climb up it. 

The children have been trying hard in their writing classes and phonics. We have been writing more labels, particularly about our Mum's, also we are looking at the /ck/ sound and have new phonic challenges next week!
