We also combined Art and Literacy and each made our very own treasure maps! To make our maps look old, we ripped the edges off our paper and used a teabag dipped in water to stain the paper brown – this was such fun. The children were so excited to add the details onto their maps. Some even featured dinosaurs!!! We then had to label our maps using our phonics knowledge.
This week, we had great fun investigating floating and sinking, making predictions about materials and their properties. We used lots of words to describe the mass and thought carefully about what would float on the surface or sink to the bottom of our tank. We were surprised by some of our findings!
We worked together in small groups to make collaborative sea scape collages. The children selected their own craft resources and used their imaginations to create the most amazing sea worlds.
In mathematics, we have been looking at our teen numbers in more depth. We have practised forming the numbers correctly and representing these numbers in different ways. We even got to play maths bingo! We also looked at some addition sums using the bigger numbers.
Next week, we will carry on our topic of ‘Mindfulness and Water’ with a focus on frogs!
