Children enjoyed a variety of problem solving activities this afternoon where they were able to use and apply their mathematical knowledge.
Maths Enrichment Day
Forest School
Children have enjoyed building and fire lighting.
Forest School
The children have been fantastic using tools to make wooden necklaces.
Rainforest Artwork
We have studied Rainforest artwork by artist John Dyer. We discovered that he uses bright colours to paint the Amazon Rainforest. We have painted our own rainforests in the style of John Dyer.
Home-made charcoal!
We couldn’t believe how easy it was to make charcoal! We were keen to get drawing with it the next day!
Forest School – fires!
Toni and Hels from Branching Out visited us again, this time we were lighting fires. All children showed great perseverance in trying to get the fires started. Despite it being June we all appreciated the warmth from the fires and even more than that, we loved the toasted marshmallows! We also made our own charcoal which we are excited to create some art work with!
Wind Chimes Using Recycled Objects
The children have used unwanted metal objects to create their amazing wind chimes.
They investigated the sound that different instruments make. Then thoughtfully arranged the recycled objects so that they would knock against each other and make relaxing and enjoyable sounds.
Urdd Craft competition
A massive well done to the Urdd members that participated in this years craft competition. Here are their final products that were taken to the regional round ready for judging.
Forest School with Branching Out
Today our class has been lucky enough to work with Toni and Hels in a Forest School session.
We used a pruning saw a to cut a branch of a hazel tree to create a rope ladder. Others created dens whilst waiting. Lots of skills were developed, including resilience, team-work, communication and empathy.
Fun in the sun
The children worked together, sharing equipment and taking turns.
We had lots of chat, laughter and fun.
