Maga maths day wasn’t the only thing going on this week in Mighty Oaks, oh no we’ve also crammed in lots of other exciting learning opportunities for the children to dive right into.
Learning about feelings and being kind while talking through this weeks book
‘ The invisible ‘ the children were taught the meaning of the words, ” invisible, kind, afford, curled sad and lonely. ” we talked about how to be kind to those around us and helping each other., the children came up with some wonderful ideas ❤️ alongside playing games of hide to teach the children the word ‘ invisible ‘ 🫥
We had a fantastic tuff tray with special colour vision goggles to check out different coloured shiny gems, this was a magnificent sensory tray to explore, see and feel. It looked magical and as always enjoyed by many.!🥽💎
The hospital role play area had the tricky challenge of making your very own glasses out of junk materials. So cool they came out looking like something from a steampunk convention or for those old enough to remember mad max. 🤓 just brilliant!
Small worlds tuff tray was a particularl favourite full of a train track and road to steer yourself around a course of a big city. 🚂🌇 marvellous opportunity for imaginary role play language to be used.
It didn’t stop there either, creative was really full of industrious children, making a Chinese dragon from the recycling ♻️ 🇨🇳🐲 and a beautifully decorated one for purple groups on going wall display. Then magic wax Crayon painting! Which showed the children the invisible crayon coming to life full of colour revealing their picture. Just like our book of the week. 🎨👨🏾🎨🪄✨
Outdoor PE lesson was all about getting the most treasure they could from the middle of the pitch and returning it to their boats. Who got the most was the winners. Great opportunity for testing their maths skills and who would keep to the rules of only one treasure at a time 😂🏴☠️
Indoor PE session was all about playing together in team games and circle games. This always helps build up the confidence of being around others and supporting fellow peers. ⭕️🤾🏼♀️
Joining in with traditions we had a Chinese tasting snack with oodles and oodles of noodles and prawn crackers. Could the children use their taste buds and tell us the different flavours? Was it crunchy, soft , hard or hot?
And of course Fridays marvellous NSPCC mega maths day jam packed with maths activities and games to learn numbers and counting through play, the best way hey! 🧮🔢
Talking about jam ! Next weeks book is ‘ The giant jam sandwich ‘ a rhyming story that tells us all about the fictional town of itching down, which was invaded by four million Wasps 🐝🥪
