🚗✈️🚂 Transport Topic Fun! 🚂✈️🚗

This half term, our learning theme is Transport, helping to build on the children's excitement for their upcoming summer holidays and the different ways they travel to their destinations.

Tomorrow, the children will be exploring the names of shapes as they create a vehicle of their choice inspired by the story Things That Move. 🚜🚁🚤

The activity has been carefully adapted to support all learners. Some children will focus on recognising and naming 2D shapes, while those who are confident with this skill will be challenged to transform their shapes into 3D models.

We can't wait to see the fantastic vehicles and creative ideas the children come up with! 🌟



2nd photo is an example and children will be able to use their own imagination.

🌊⚓ Tomorrow, our children will be exploring the exciting concept of sinking and floating!

The children will be given a variety of different-sized containers to represent boats. They will then carefully fill their boats with animal figures, predicting and testing how many animals each boat can hold before it sinks.

This hands-on investigation will encourage curiosity, problem-solving, counting skills, and early scientific thinking as the children explore buoyancy through play. We can not wait to see their discoveries! 🐘🐒🦒🚢

🦓🐅

The children will take part in a simple matching activity, where they will match each animal to its correct pattern. Once completed, their work will be placed into the finished box independently.

As an extra challenge, the children will then complete the animal pictures by drawing the remaining features, carefully observing the patterns on their fur and using their creativity to bring the animals to life through drawing.

We are so excited to see their wonderful creations and imaginations shine! ✨

✨ Welcome to Our Maths Area ✨

We love rotating our toys and resources regularly to help spark children’s imagination, curiosity, and learning through play! Here is some of the exciting maths fun currently set up for our little learners:

🔷 Shape mosaics – helping children develop shape recognition and follow patterns to create pictures.

☎️ Telephones and tills – encouraging numeral recognition within the environment. Children can use the phone book to pretend to call their favourite superheroes or Disney princesses!

🎲 Number dice – featuring numerals and dots to support number recognition and counting skills.

🟨 Shape connectors – giving children opportunities to build shapes and create new ones using their imagination.

🖐️ Rice-filled gloves – supporting children with counting using their fingers in a fun sensory way.

🧩 A variety of puzzles – encouraging children to challenge themselves, problem solve, and persevere.

Lots of hands-on maths fun designed to challenge growing brains while learning through play! 💡🔢✨

Today we had so much fun learning about number bonds! 🔢✨

The children enjoyed creating Numberblock pictures using colourful paint and blocks while exploring how numbers work together. It was wonderful to see their creativity, teamwork, and mathematical thinking shine through during the activity! 🎨🧱🐝

Learning through play makes maths exciting and memorable! 💛

Our fun learning tomorrow

We are ready to keep learning tomorrow

Tomorrow the children will be learning all about number bonds! 🔢✨

The children will explore numerals around the environment and take part in exciting activities to help develop their early maths skills. They will be challenged to match the correct quantity to numbers and use paper and pencils to practise making marks and representing numbers independently. ✏️📚

We are looking forward to a fun and engaging day of learning through play! 😊

Update on Kaitlin and Rhea 💪

The team are pleased to share that they took on the Tough Mudder challenge and completed the course in an incredible 1 hour and 45 minutes! 🏃‍♀️🔥

It was a tough course, but with determination, teamwork, and a fantastic support team cheering them on every step of the way, they pushed through and crossed the finish line with huge smiles on their faces.
