Play to Learn

In continuous provision this week we have enjoyed lots of activities to strengthen our fine motor skills and improve our hand eye coordination. The activities have also encouraged us to use our imagination and communicate with each other.

Charcoal pencils

Tythecott class learnt how to use charcoal to make charcoal pencils to write with.  We improved our knot skills and kept warm with hot chocolate.  Ask them what their favourite part of the afternoon was…..

Water resistance

In science yesterday, we explored which shapes resulted in less water resistance when sinking in a container. We moulded plasticine into different shapes and timed how long it took to sink to the bottom. We timed it three times and took an average before analysing our results. We found that flat round shapes took longer […]

Air resistance and parachutes

In science this morning, we looked at the effects of air resistance on parachutes. 🪂 We made parachutes with different surface areas to see which would slow the descent most. After our investigation results, we found that the larger the surface area, the slower the parachute falls because more air is caught in the parachute. […]

Planting and Growing

In Understanding the World we have been planting seeds and learning how to care for plants. We planted carrot and cosmos seeds and we are caring for them by making sure they have light and water. We are excited to observe the changes as the seeds begin to grow.

So far this half term we have made some leave in the stule of stained glass, cut wood and made mini bug hotels and made fossils with dinosaurs. We have also had a few games of capture the flag, stuck in mud and eagle eyes. They have worked so well together exploring different ways to […]

Today we planted our orchard with trees from The Tree Council. Some very excited children can’t wait to have fruit from them and make jam or crumbles.
