Partitioning

Some of us have been learning how to partition a double figured number into tens and units.

e.g. 14 is 4 units (ones) and 1 ten.

homes around the world

We have been researching homes around the world. We have learnt about differences in materials, size, shape and height.

Making joints

We were given two pieces of card and told to find ways of connecting the two to make strong walls. We experimented with various glues and tapes, and then looked at how we could make the joint stronger using wood.

Our building site

Our role play area is a building site at the moment, and we have been having lots of fun using various materials to design and make our own houses. We have then been writing instuctions for others to follow, to make the same house.

making advent calendars

We ahve made our own advent calendars. They have taken us a very long time and we have tried very hard!

 

Christmas lunch

We made hats and placemats for our Christmas lunch.

Our new welcome tree

 

We have made a tree around our door to make it look more welcoming. We stuffed the trunk with newspaper to make it 3D, and twisted brown paper to make the branches. We then cut up willow and used a glue gun to create the welcome sign. The children collected and made orange and brown leaves to decorate it in the Autumn. Now it is a Christmas tree.

Come and see how the seasons change!
