Forest school
We have been enjoying our time in forest school. We have been building our own swings. We tried it with an old gate panel as a seat and then an old tyre the following week. We have created even more dens. They get better each week as we build on previous weeks skills. We made some wands/wishing sticks with some old yarn and sticks we found around the forest. Some of the children were brave enough to climb trees. Lots of creative ideas from the children.
P.E
In P.E we have been trying lots of new things. Tennis skills, rounders and some team playing activities. Now that the weather has improved we are enjoying being outside on the school field.
Art
In Art we have been exploring colour. Specifically primary colours and how we can mix them to create secondary colours. We have created some amazing art work in the style of Jasper Johns ‘numbers in colour’.
Maths
In maths we have been focusing on mass. Making a guess if things around the classroom are lighter or heavier than the other and then measuring them. We have also been describing and comparing the volume and capacity of various sized containers.
