What on Earth?

 We have been learning about how on earth the earth and space work.

The children have asked lots of questions about Planet Earth and beyond.

These are some of the questions the students asked. So we looked at how the earth came to be.

We looked at some cool videos on youtube that explained it in child speak. We talked a lot about this and shared our ideas and understanding. The pictures are of their understanding and interpreting representation.

We're Going NUTS!

 We read about the Squirrel's Store today, where they sold nuts in different sized groups.

We made our own nut stores, some complete with price lists and signs, where we sold nuts in groups. Then we had fun 'shopping' together from each other's stores.

Play with number helps children understand grouping, value, skip counting, addition and more. Playing shops is a great way to help number knowledge and understanding grow at home.

Baking Bread, Butter and Jam Pudding!

We were bakers today! We made bread, butter and jam pudding. See if you see how we made it. 

While we were waiting for it to bake, we wrote about what we did.

All finished. Time to eat - yum!
