Mrs Barker EYFS 2020-2021

Our Small Construction Area has been invaded by Mini-Me Nativity characters.  We enjoyed being all the different characters and dressing up in our Nativity costumes so much that Mrs Barker turned us into little mini figures.

We have been using our mini-figures in the building area to re-create…

Today we started off making snowflakes to decorate our classroom but this activity soon changed into making glasses instead.  One of the snowflakes looked like a superhero mask and the next thing I know we've got a room full of children wearing their very own handmade glasses.  This is why I love…

Look at our amazing Nativity cast in their first ever Nativity.  I am so proud of all the children who worked so hard and were fantastic characters in our play.

We have been busy today making Christmas pictures with lego bricks.  We had to look really carefully at the picture to see which pieces we needed and where to put them.  We worked sensibly together and helped each other create the Snowman and Christmas Tree pictures.

Oh dear!!!!!  It's that time of year again when the Naughty Elf comes to visit and he has already been up to so much mischief.

We are going to show Buddy how to be good so that he can also be on Father Christmas's good list.

This afternoon we have been busy making bird cakes to put up in our outdoor area.

We enjoyed watching the lard melt and noticed that not only did it change colour but it also turned into a liquid.

When the lard…

Today there was superb teamwork happening in our Mud Kitchen, it was time for a good clean up.  We got busy with lots of brushes and mops and gave everything a good clean.

We worked so well together and I am sure you will agree we have done a fantastic job.

One of our independent Get Busy activities is writing CVC words in the sand using a stick.  We have been thinking of lots of different things that sticks can be used for and in our new story called Stanley's Stick he used one as a pen for writing and drawing in the sand.

During our Maths session we have been using Number lines and Number fans to find missing numbers and working out what the next number will be.  We use our lines and fans to show Mrs Barker our answers.

We are getting really quick at spotting which numbers are missing in number lines and…

We had a fun afternoon completing different Children In Need themed activities.

The story that we have been reading for our new topic is Stick Man by Julia Donaldson.

We have been having a go at drawing Stick Man and then trying to improve our drawings through Peer Critique.

Peer critique involves looking at our friends work and saying what we like about it and then…
