Nursery - Maths - Constructing A Brick House For The Little Pig

Our focused story for this week has been 'The three little pigs'. The children have been experimenting with different materials to build houses for the pigs. Today we made brick houses with the lego. The children persevered when linking the blocks together and made some beautiful structures for their pigs to live in. Some children used positional language in their play describing the placement of their bricks, 'on top'. We then pretended to be the big bad wolf to see if our brick houses were strong or if they would fall down!

Nursery - Maths - Using Size And Number Language

During maths this week we have been working on number language and understanding size. The children played a game together, hiding golden coins under different sized cups. The only clue they could give to their friends, to help find the coins, was the size of the cup they were hidden under. The children worked really hard to identify the big, medium and small cups. Once the coins were found, the children were encouraged to count their coins, some children did this independently!
