We continued our learning about colour. We used our fine motor skills to tear the coloured strips of paper to create our rainbows. #TheGatesArt #TheGatesMathematics #TheGatesPhysicalDevelopment.

This week we are reading Our Class is a Family story. We learnt that all our families are different and all our families are special. We made love hearts in the Malleable Area to remind us of the love we feel for our families. #TheGatesPSHE #TheGatesDT.

Today we are learning all about the colour green. We played a game where we had to identify the missing object, green or not green. We also went on a colour hunt around the classroom to find objects that were green. #TheGatesMathematics.

This morning we learnt how to be good communicators. We used our prior skills of collaboration to work together to cross the river. We then made the challenge more difficult as the bridge broke so we had to rebuild it using different objects. #CommandoJoes #TheGatesGoldenGoals.

This afternoon we carried out a milk rainbow experiment. We were amazed at the milk moved and created rainbow swirls. #TheGatesScience.

This morning we made a cloud in a jar. We noticed that when the cloud filled up it got heavier and the rain fell down, just like the rain we saw outside this morning. #TheGatesScience.

This morning we worked on our fine motor skills. We built on our prior skills of tearing paper. Today we practised holding the scissors to make simple snips and cut lines. #TheGatesPhysicalDevelopment #TheGatesPE.

This morning we enjoyed making kindness potions in the Water Area. We used the pipettes to mix the colours. We noticed that when we mixed blue and red together it made purple. #TheGatesScience #TheGatesMathematics.

This week we are reading the story Only One You. We learnt that we are all special and unique, just like the fish we have made. #TheGatesPSHE #TheGatesArt.

This week in Maths we have been using our quick eyes to see how many are in a set. We learnt that this is called subitising. #TheGatesMathematics.

This morning we carried out an experiment. We made our fish swim. First we cut out a fish. Then we dipped its tail in washing up liquid and released it to see what would happen. We were amazed that our fish swam. #TheGatesScience.

This week we have been singing Incy, Wincy Spider. We sang the song and used the spiders to climb up the water spout. #TheGatesLiteracy.

This week we are reading the story Super Duper You. We talked about all the things that make us amazing. Then we got busy making superhero capes. We used our fine motor skills to peel and stick the stickers. We also learnt how to use the staplers. #TheGatesPSHE #TheGatesDT.

In Maths we are continuing our learning about subitising. We played a subitising game, playing the beats to match the dot cards. We are learning to use our own knowledge and understanding to explain how we know that there is one and two. #TheGatesMathematics #TheGatesMusic.

Today we completed our Commando Joes Challenge. Our mantra today was ‘I can do it!’We demonstrated good growth mindsets and resilience when completing our challenge to climb up the mountain. #TheGatesCommandoJoes #TheGatesGoldenGoals #TheGatesPSHE #TheGatesPE.

This week we are reading Pumpkin Soup. We have enjoyed working in collaboration to make our pumpkin soup. We carefully added the ingredients and followed the recipe#TheGatesLiteracy #TheGatesDT.

This morning we have been busy working on our fine motor control. We have been using the tweezers to pick up the autumnal objects. We talked about the changes we see in Autumn. #TheGatesPhysicalDevelopment #TheGatesScience.

This afternoon, we enjoyed using the malleable materials and loose parts to create pumpkins. #TheGatesDT #TheGatesPhysicalDevelopment.

This week we have enjoyed taking part in our Commando Joes Challenge. We had to help CJ bear understand his emotions. We worked as a team to find the different emotion cards. We talked about what we could do if we felt happy, sad or angry. #TheGatesPSED #CommandoJoes.
