Nursery - Maths - Making Reindeer Dust
On our malleable table this week, Nursery class have been making reindeer dust. The children have used spoons, cups, jugs, bowls and various other objects to scoop the ingredients and create their reindeer dust. The children were challenged to use their listening skills and follow an instruction such as, 'one cup of oats' and 'a sprinkle of glitter'. We counted out the scoops as the children added more and encouraged the children to count along and repeat key words 'more' 'empty' and 'full'. Once everything was measured and mixed the children filled up little bags to take home for Santa's reindeer on Christmas eve.

Year 3 - Courageous Advocacy - All About Rubbish
During our Courageous Advocacy afternoon Year 3 were looking at the problems around rubbish. The children had a problem tree and a solution tree that they had to complete. They discussed what caused rubbish, the effects rubbish had on the environment and what sort of rubbish they saw around them and then wrote these onto the problem tree. Using the solution tree they came up with different ideas on how they could change things. They decided that things that would help would be workshops in schools about how rubbish affects us , volunteering in your local area litter picking and changing the packaging on some items.
