The Environment

Our focus for learning this week has been caring for our planet. The Rainbows have been very concerned about the impact litter is having and have been inspired to learn more and to do something about it!
 
We have listened to the song ‘What a Wonderful World’ By Louis Armstrong and learnt Makaton to go with the song. We have thought about the beauty of the planet and what we can to look after it. Our other stories this week ‘Some one Swallowed Stanley’ ,‘Messy Magpie’ and ‘Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish’ have helped the Rainbows think about the impact of rubbish on the environment. Some of the Rainbows were even inspired to do a spot of litter picking at lunchtime.
 
We have been learning about recycling and how different materials can be made into new things! We have sorted the materials into separate crates just like at a recycling centre. We have sorted rubbish items into things that can be recycled and things that cannot and we need to throw away in the bin.
 
In maths we have been recapping our key skills. We enjoyed playing a maths game with our friends and adding up the scores to see who won! We have practised our number formation and written numbers to and beyond ten.
