Windy Zone/ Muddy Area




The children and I are inspired to get to work on developing our outdoor area !
I know it was on Mrs Crossland's wish list to develop the aptly named 'Windy Zone' and the children and I cannot wait for our imaginations to run wild !







But we need your ideas input and help ! 


The collaborative partnership had an inspirational trip to the Eco Centre in Skegness back in September and Lennox, Ollie and I couldn't resist returning in the Easter holidays.


                                                       A badger set to crawl through !








Shh ! Do to wake the fairies or elves !

They decided to print the characters from the films to make a huge poster to display.

Show and Tell

Jacob and his mum made a penguin mask.


#Jacob talked about how he made the mask, the materials he used and what his soft toy was called.

#

Mrs B used the 'Cut me in' app to plop Jacob and his penguin friend somewhere a little cooler ! :-) 

Can you guess where this is ? 


We will be using the 'Cut me in ' app during our Geography / Literacy lessons whilst looking at Brazil in readiness for our World Cup topic .

Silhouette Art


  Our Silhouette Art Project project is in the style of  William Morris .Mrs Bullen is lead teacher and creative extraordinaire in our whole school art project. Mrs Adlard came and helped the children draw around their shadows. 
                            
                We then used the photocpopier to reduce the size and cut it out onto felt.

    We are so excited to take part in our whole school art project , Oliver showcased his hidden talent and  independently ( under Mrs Adlard's watchful eye ) sew his silouette. Oliver was super impressed.

 Our padlocks needed their Pair-key to make 10 Lucas and Jackson worked as a a great team to dig for the right key. Lucas took it one step further and recorded the different combinations so reception could use them as a guide.


                           


 

                            Look Oliver found all of the combination independently ! 

                               

Oliver next stepped his learning by using the counting beads to represent his number sentence .Oliver then attached it to the padlock to give Penny an extra clue as to which Pair Key she needed . Well done Oliver ! 


                                


The children worked with Mrs Dawson to help Mr Sailor sort his rowdy passengers... Ollie was amongst them :-)



The children quickly realised there were 10 passengers , they moved the puppets into the two different boats and then recorded their number story in chalk on our playground.



                                

The Numicon cafe was very popular and the children made play dough cakes using a pair of Numicon pieces. We need some plastic knives next time so we can see our number pairs clearly.




                              

                  Penny used two different cake to show her number pair to make 10.


We like to keep things active and practical in maths

                                      

Welcome to New Leake Popcorn Pictures Cinema !

                     
   


The children all decided our Cinema role play needed a name , after much deliberation we came up with... Drum roll please

                                                          Popcorn Pictures  

The girls decided that we needed a name that used alliteration . We are all loving taking money on the concession stands . The children explored our popcorn tuff spot weighing the popcorn cups and recording how much they hold. We have the sizes Large, medium and small Frankie and Jacob couldn't wait to make our price lists. 


                                

      

      
                                     
Mrs B the Medium is double the small (Braydie) 



                              
Before we tucked into our yummy popcorn muffins we talked about and made our own math word problems. The children used some brilliant mathematical language and applied some brilliant maths skills.... Counting in twos, estimating , halving , doubling to name but a few !
