Woodland Walk

Last week we were still focusing on our story 'Owl Babies.' We all went to our school wood to see what a wood is. We noticed there were lots of trees and they weren't all the same. The FS2 children were learning the names of some of these trees; oak, horse-chestnut and pine trees. In the wood we felt the trunks - some trunks were rough and bumpy and hurt our hands! The FS1 children learnt that a tree has a trunk (but it's not like an elephant), branches and leaves. Everyone learnt how to paint a tree. In FS2, we thought more about the story and thought if mother owl would have left a letter for the owl babies maybe they wouldn't have been as worried so we thought of a letter together.
In food technology, some children made chocolate nests for the owl babies and we all enjoyed eating them!
In Maths, the FS1 children were learning to count to 3 and learning that 3 is 3 no matter what kind of objects are used. In FS2, children were learning to count one to one by lining objects up. We had a counting bunny that kept making mistakes!
At KPS we use the 'One Life' program to learn about ourselves and emotions in a positive way. This week, children were saying what is good about being them.
