Nursery - Maths - Link Octopus
This week the children in Nursery class have been using their fine motor skills to assist them with our maths challenge. Using their knowledge of colour, the little ones were able to select different links and join them to the corresponding coloured tentacle on our octopus. This was very fiddly and needed a lot of perseverance! The children were encouraged to name or repeat the colour of the link they had chosen and some children also correctly identified which tentacle was the longest and which was the shortest. Great work, Nursery!
Reception Maths: Part and Part Make Up A Whole.
By using a hoop and some pompoms Reception class have been thinking about how two parts make up a whole. They threw the pompoms into the hoop but some fell outside. The ones inside the hoop were one part, those outside were another part. Adding the two parts together makes the whole!
Reception Music: Joining the Line with Chicken Licken.

Pre School- Science- Magnets
The children have been developing their understanding of how the magnets work. Learning that there are two poles, one that will attract and one that will repel. The children watched as the magnets repelled and moved away from the other magnets without touching the other magnet. When they attracted the magnets stuck together and were hard to separate.

They made some fabulous masterpieces and were very proud of their work!
