Maths, Craft and Fun

The children were excited as they played a Christmas pattern game on the smart board. They were very quick to find the next picture in the pattern. They also played a counting game on the mat. The craft table has been very busy and I am sure you have noticed lots of interesting artwork coming home. The children have enjoyed the warmer weather with water play and sand play very popular this week so far. Mrs Bennett came down to see the children after discovering some of the Loquat trees had fruit on them. The children had thought the fruit might be small Mangoes. They then watched as the fruit was opened up and to find the seeds. We then went on an excursion around the school searching for Loquat fruit. During our Yarning Circle time the children compared different pine cones that some of the children had brought in. We wondered where the pine cone seeds had gone and how long it took for the pine trees to grow.

Bean Maths

This week we have been harvesting the broad beans out in the garden. Today we counted how many pods we had collected. We counted 44 bean pods before everyone shelled the beans to find all the broad beans. We then counted 168 broad beans! After we had cooked them everyone had a taste,
with most children saying they liked them.
