Term 3, Week 3

This week Apples and Pears have been learning about our focus story ‘Owl Babies.’ They have been really interested in what animals come out at night like the Owls we discovered in our story. This led us to discuss the term ‘nocturnal animal.' The children choose their favourite animal and wrote some words to describe it or a sentence about their animal. They were great at using their sounds and really thinking about how to form their letters. We even spoke about finger spaces and where a full stop comes.

In Maths this week, we have been learning about ‘mass and capacity’. The children enjoyed weighting different objects and seeing which was the heaviest and which was the lightest. The were good at having a guess before using the scales to prove this. The children also looked at capacity using a range of items such as buckets, spoons, sieve to see which would fill up the tray the quickest. They put their theory to the test and tried them out!

In PHSE we looked at nocturnal animals and where they live. In Understanding the World, we learnt about hot and cold places. The children were great at identifying the different animals and deciding if they lived in a hot or cold country.

Thank you for your continued support,

Have a lovely weekend,

The EYFS Team.
