This week, we have been learning...
UTW- Space
We have been learning all about Space this week and focusing on the Solar System. We learnt about the planets and put them in order using our inflatable planets. We learnt facts about each one and talked about the sun and moon too. We then added them to our new Space Station role play area so we can pretend to be astronauts visiting the planets in space! We also enjoyed some space themed provision in our busy time including oil pastel planet drawings, shooting stars finger gym and galaxy addition number sentences.
Forest School
This week we had another forest school session and this time, it was very wet and muddy. That did not stop the Acorns though! We enjoyed rope swinging, mud sliding, shrimp investigating, mud painting and roasting marshmallows on the fire. Yum!
Maths
In one of our maths sessions this week, we learnt about comparing and ordering by height. We used the vocabulary ‘tall’ and ‘short’ to compare objects and put them in order from tallest to shortest. We ordered all the Acorns by height and then we built towers that were taller and shorter than Mrs M’s.
