We have been developing our vocabulary by learning the names of a variety of different sea creatures. We also watched Andy's Wild Adventures to help us learn some facts about them and we found this very interesting!
We made some underwater scenes in the creative area by cutting out sea creatures and creating a porthole scene. We created underwater worlds in the dough and small world areas and used story language to make up our own stories about the creatures. Some of us made a 3d underwater box scene in the creative area by cutting and sticking and attaching materials in different ways. We even painted them and mixed the colours we needed. We could talk about how we made them and what we did, and if we made them again what we would do differently the next time. Here we are getting busy this week!

This week we have been looking at different ways to make a number. We used sea shells to help us! We counted out a number of sea shells and found the numicon piece and numeral that matched.
We have been playing skittles too! We counted how many we knocked down with the ball and how many we needed to knock down until they were all down. We chose to this independently during provision time. One of our provision activities has been a subitising and counting game this week. The die had different colours on and they had to move one more space each time they rolled their colour. The Rainbows were really good at telling adults how many more they had to roll to get to the end of the track. Some of the Rainbows were really keen to make their own dice game too! Here they are with their games! As we have been learning about Under the Sea we have been experimenting with floating and sinking.
We identified and named different objects and tested them to see if they would sink or float. We then sorted them into two groups and talked about why we think they would float or sink. We talked about the word "absorbent" and the surface area of the object. One Rainbow loves to learn about the Titanic and decided to try and make it out of foil. He did not succeed the first few times but persevered and never gave up. He we are experimenting! |
