We have been learning about spring and spring flowers. For art this week we made some observational drawings of daffodils. At first we found it hard to focus on drawing what we see but we did a great job. We loved the daffodils so much that we kept them on our tables all week. We were so careful not to spill the water and make sure we kept our daffodils safe.
February's play theme was The Garden Centre. We have loved learning about what plants need to grow and then exploring this in our play. We also planted some cress and beans. The cress grew really quickly but we are still waiting for our beanstalks to grow. I wonder will there be a giant at the top of our beanstalk like in the story Jack and the Beanstalk?! We have been having lots of fun learning about waterproof materials. We started with a whole class experiment testing a variety of materials to find out if they were waterproof. We then sorted the materials into 2 groups - waterproof and not waterproof. Then during play time we were able to freely explore these materials and test them for ourselves. After all this hard work we used waterproof materials to design a new raincoat. We are learning all about the number 4 this month. The children have been discovering different ways of representing number 4, learning how to write the number 4 and exploring the story of 4. We loved using playdough to form the letter and make sets of 4. Some of us even tried writing some number sentences that make up the story of 4. |
