  Maths - Arrangements of 3!

  Posted by Mrs K Ferris

  We have been learning about the number 3. We have been using pom-poms to create different arrangements of the number 3. Some of us created triangle arrangements and some of us created horizontal or vertical lines. We also looked at how the number 3 can be grouped by making a group of 2 and a group of 1.

  Storytime in the Woods!

  Posted by Mrs K Ferris

  We went into the woods to have our story today. We read the story 'Owl Babies'. After our story we collected some leaves to use to create some nature owls back in the classroom. We enjoyed exploring the woods and looking for different coloured leaves that had fallen from the trees.

  Fine Motor Skills - Leaf Washing Line

  Posted by Mrs K Ferris

  We have been testing our fine motor skills today by pegging leaves onto a washing line. It was very tricky and we had to use both our hands to peg the leaves onto the string! It also challenged us to persevere when things are tricky.

  KUW/ SCIENCE - Autumn Walk

  Posted by Mrs K Ferris

  We went out for an Autumn walk on the field. We loved searching for different coloured leaves, conkers, pine cones and acorns. We could see the leaves that had fallen off the trees and enjoyed crunching them with our wellies! We are also lucky to have a conker tree on our field!

  KUW/ SCIENCE - Autumn

  Posted by Mrs K Ferris

  Today we thought about the season Autumn. We talked about some of the changes that we see during the Autumn. We found out that the leaves change colours to shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. We also found out that the leaves start to fall of the trees and the weather gets colder. We also talked about discovering conkers, pine cones and acorns outside!
