The Great Fairy Tale Disaster
This half term our Adventure will lead us through a range of traditional fairy tale as we help ‘The Big Bad Wolf’ change his ways and not be so bad anymore. Each week we will help solve problems for the wolf and try to help him become the good character he longs to be.

Wild in the Winter Woods
Waterproof materials
We have been thinking of a way to keep the gingerbread man dry. We wrapped ginger biscuits in different materials to test which ones would keep him dry in the water.
We found out the plastic bag was the best at keeping him dry!
Counting 10 objects
Chinese New Year Music with Mr Wears
We talked about the cultures and traditions in China and read a story about how a chinese family celebrate New Year. We watched a short video about the celebration and sang a song about using chopsticks.
We also listened to traditional chinese music and songs.

Clapping to a rhythm
We clapped out a rhythm and sang a nonsense song to help us understand rhythm.
Bee (1 clap)
Spi-der (2 claps)
but-ter-fly (3 claps)
Cat-er-pill-ar (4 claps)
We moved the pictures to make different rhythms and different songs.
It's music time!
Number Day
We had so much fun during National Number Day. The children really enjoyed the number exploration on the carpet. We talked about quantity and we were challenged to find as many numbers as possible in one item. E.g 1 car, 2 wheels on one side, 4 wheels on the whole car, 5 panels on the car, 6 windows on the car. We then combined objects to make bigger numbers the windows and the wheels equal 10.
It really helped us to see number in the environment.
