This morning we played the shark and islands game in the garden! The aim of the game is to step on all the number islands in the correct order and shout them out loud, if we missed the jump to the next island the children have to quickly hurry and find the correct number of island to land on before the sharks come and gobble you up

The day had hardly begun when one of our learners created this amazing ship from construction materials. To extend the learning we asked if they thought it could float in water, they were not sure so we experimented right away and to everyone’s surprise and delight it was able to float. The child then asked if newspaper could float, they rolled up a little ball of paper and again we were amazed to find this also floated! This inspired some more ship building from the other children – looks like it’s going to be a day of finding out what floats.
Some of our team attended this fantastic training session yesterday. We learned about how we are all interconnected in the world. It showed us how many unique factors shape how we see the world and how we can use our individuality to teach others. There was a large section on anti racist education which was very informative and gave us lots of food for thought.
Today our rainbow group were excited to see some snowdrops poking their way through the mud down at the river today. We are learning about being gentle and leaving the flowers to grow so that we can see them again the next time
