Mrs Barker EYFS 2020-2021

During our 'Time to Talk' session this morning, we got that chance to explore crabs really closely.  We watched a short video showing different places we might find crabs and we saw them using their claws to pick seaweed from the rocks.

We thought the crabs looked a lot like spiders when…

Our 'Time to Talk' session was extra special today as we had an enormous shell to explore.

We first thought of words to describe the size of the shell and of course our first thought was BIG.

We talked about different words that mean the same as big and could think of ........ massive…

We had a fabulous Maths sessions today creating a bar chart using different sea creatures.  All of the children were very engaged and actively involved.

First we used the Numicon pieces to create the numbers at the side of the chart.  We then took it in turns to find sea creatures that looked…

We are really enjoying our new topic called 'Who lives in a rockpool?'.

Our role play area has been changed into an aquarium.  We have been playing I-spy to say and write a list of all of the different things we can see.  Can you find where Nemo is hiding?

During PE we had a go at moving our…

We were so lucky today as we enjoyed an 'Afternoon Tea' for our school lunch.

There were so many delicious sandwiches, sausage rolls, quiches, cakes and other treats to choose from. 

We were spoilt for choice - yummy, yummy!!!

Mrs Channing was impressed that we remembered our manners when…

Today I felt so proud of the children who had a go at writing sentences all about the bear from story we read called Goldilocks and just the 1 bear and the traditional tale of Goldilocks and the 3 bears.

We used the Goldilocks word mat to help us spell some of the words from the story and the…

We really enjoyed practising our ball skills during PE today.  Being able to control a ball when throwing, catching, passing and kicking can be really tricky and we were fantastic.

We warmed our bodies up by hopping, skipping, running and slithering around the hall.  We tried really hard to…

This afternoon we made porridge, just like in the story Goldilocks and the 3 bears.

We really enjoyed mixing the oats and milk together in the pan.  We were very careful not to touch the hot pan.

Our porridge was too hot to eat straight away so we went for a walk in the woods whilst it…

We have been taking really good care of our Beanstalks and look at how tall they are now.
