Week Beginning 2nd May 2016

Another fun packed week filled with learning opportunities for all.
Our Farm in the role play area has been very successful and children just love to spend time looking after the animals, collecting eggs and shopping from the farm shop.


We decided it was time for the farmer to make some money by selling some of the lovely sheep wool. We didn't waste anytime and got busy shearing the sheep...have a look...



Busy farmers shearing the sheep.
 

Children took lots of care shearing the sheep.
 


'This is a messy job!'
 
In Maths we have learnt about positional and directional language. We used the BeeBots to investigate how to move them forward, backwards, left and right.

 
In our English lessons this week we have been looking at the art of non-verbal communication.  The children have learned some basic signs and symbols from both BSL and Makaton.
 
 
 
We then used our own forms of sign and gestures to guide our partner around an assault course, they had to travel over, under, around and through obstacles but we couldn't use our voices to 'say what to do.'
 
Much fun was had by all and the children worked fantastically.
 
now the weather appears to be on our side we are taking our learning outside wherever the opportunity allows us too, please remember to send sunhats for the children to wear.
 
 
Our Golden Book winner this week was Iris, Well done.
