Spring 1

Literacy Learning:

We have been reading the book ‘The Wind Blew’ by Pat Hutchins. After reading the first two pages we predicted what the wind might blow away. Look at some of our fantastic ideas. 

We then sequenced pictures from the story and used our phonics knowledge to write the sounds we could hear. 

We have learnt lots of new vocabulary after reading the story. We used words such as whipped, whirled, snatched and swept in our writing. 

As Mr Whites umbrella turned inside out and blew away, during our choosing time we made him a new umbrella. Children used different materials such as tubes, pipe cleaners and cellophane. 

Continuous Provision:

During continuous provision, children used different materials of their choice to make windsocks.

Maths Learning:

In Maths children have been learning about the numbers six and seven. We made the numbers using resources such as ten frames, objects, double sided counters and numicon. We completed the task ‘Make it, draw it, write it’ for both six and seven. The children independently used their knowledge recall of number bonds to write their own number sentences.

We have looked at capacity by filling and pouring different containers. Children were encouraged to use language such as full, empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty.
