Ash Class Reception Y1

We have been using numbers to 20 and putting them in order!

We have been designing a waterproof coat for Baby bear. We had to predict if plastic, cotton, tin-foil or paper would keep him dry!

We had to change the material but keep the amount of water we used the same.

We have been combining ingredients to create our own gingerbread man.

I don't think our biscuits had time to run away!

The children in Ash class have been problem solving as a team.  We are learning to talk to each other, listen to each others ideas and to perservere when things don't go to plan!

We have been learning about size and putting objects in order.  This game is good for practising taking turns and learning how to say 'well done' to the winner.

We have been prodding, poking, rubbing, rolling and squishing porridge play-dough to make a sculpture!

We have a Winter wonderland in our weather station.  Sythetic snow is available to buy on Amazon and it is GREAT FUN! We have added a snowman, polar bear, pengiuins and seals for role play.  

Here are some of the words the children used to describe it.....

cold, squashy, slippery, funny,…

We have made our own decorations whilst in the forest.  We have been sawing and sticking!

This morning we have been working with Year 6 children and making a Christingle. We used an orange, which represents the earth; a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Christ; dried fruitsand sweets skewered on cocktail sticks pushed into the orange, representing the fruits of the earth…

This is our Christmas investigation tray.  We will add pictures, photos and objects over the next few weeks for the children to investigate!

In Ash class this week have been following instructions to make a rain gauge.  We have been observing the weather each morning and afternoon for a week. We have been mind mapping weather words and what we know already!

Please could you send in any spare jam jars with lids into Ash class?  We will be using them in our Christmas crafts.

Thanks

Mrs Mason
