Following on from our discussions about journeys and holidays, we looked at some photographs of hot and cold countries. We talked about the weather and thought about which animals live in hot places and which live in colder areas. The children enjoyed using the small world area to sort the animals.
In the creative area we used the “hot colours” red, orange and yellow to create our art work.
Children loved using the remote controlled cars this week and were able to move them backwards and forwards between the obstacles. It was lots of fun!
Our Maths focus this week has been capacity. We have been using the mathematical vocabulary of capacity full, empty, half-full.
In group time we filled our cups with pasta, making sure they were half-full was tricky.
We also practised our skills in the sensory area, pouring the sand carefully into the tubes and bottles. We had to concentrate really hard.
Help at home
Can you use the language of capacity at home ? Is the cup half-full yet? My cup is full ? Can you empty the box?
Next week our story of the week is
Our Nursery rhyme of the week is
A Sailor went to Sea.
