Transport – In the water

This week we have been:

Learning about transport we find in the water. This week we read the story Mr Gumpys outing. We have been thinking a lot about boats, we have been making boats using collage and making boats using the big blocks. we have also been using large paper boats and exploring how many people we can fit inside. We have been mark making using the story to help us.

In maths this week we have been exploring how many people will fit inside a boat. We have been using paper boats to explore numbers to 5, to 10 and to 20. We have been counting how many people and animals will fit in a boat and we have also been exploring if the boat is empty or full and what would happen if the boat was full of people . We have also been exploring the number 15 using the Number blocks.

In science this week we have had lots of fun exploring melting and freezing. We watched Kit and Pup explain what melting and freezing was we then had a go and explored ourselves. We were exploring frozen ice, ice cream and chocolate. We found out that things melt when things get warm or hot. The ice cubes and the ice cream were frozen and we added heat to see if they would melt. We also added heat to chocolate to see if that would melt. We also ate some chocolate and we enjoyed the ice cream too!

In RE this week we were learning about how God made the water. We recapped over the story so far and added water to our Gods creation scene.

As we were learning about boats this week we also read the story Noah’s Ark. We have been exploring the story in the sand tray using the large ship and animals. We found out that the animals went in the Ark two by two so we found two of every animal. We also drew our own arks and put animals inside them .

This week we have been exploring what makes a good friend using Peppa Pig. We read a story on the board and then we looked at different emotions and added them to our zones of regulation board. we then made friendship bracelets for each other.

Next week we will be:

  • Finishing our learning on transport.
  • Finishing our creation story with how God made all living things.
  • Revisiting 2-D shapes.
  • Learning about and celebrating Saint Valentine’s Day.
