We had a visit from Hendrix the pony today. He was a bit dirty from the wet weather so we learnt how to groom him. As we did such a good job, he let us have a little ride on him too.
We used loose parts to create an enchanted forest. We had to be really careful and make all the parts balance. We did it really slowly too, so we didn't knock them over.
We extended our own play by drawing around the numicon and counting the holes. We asked Mrs B to write the numbers and some of us liked counting all the holes to see how many we had drawn altogether.
Today we were talking about firefighters and this led to talking about looking after each other and being kind. We have made a big class heart. So, when other people do kind things for us, we are going to share with our class and put a sticker on the heart.
We made our tree shapes out of play dough, then decorated them with loose parts, we took them apart and kept making new designs. Lots of chatter about what bits we were using, the colours, patterns and how many of each we could use to be 'fair'.
Rather than throwing balls at our towers, we helped to make our own wrecking ball. We watched a real wrecking ball demolition. We made our own buildings and knocked them down.
