In our maths sessions we introduced the children to some language regarding size (tall, taller, smaller, smaller, bigger etc), we set the children a challenge to order some items according to height, then the children worked together to measure everyone's height.
We also set up a measuring table with tape measures and bricks to build tall towers with, the children have loved using the measuring the equipment.
With the children's help we made a beanstalk number line, complete with clouds and a giant's castle at the top!
On our messy play table we had beanstalk dough- play dough with magic beans and pipe cleaner stalks.
We read the story Jasper's beanstalk, which is about a cat that plants a bean and how he takes care of it; the children have been taking care of their own cress seeds this week. They have been watering them and checking them everyday to see what is happening.
The children have been enjoying our new 'bear cave', we have made the role play area dark and cosy with cushions, throws, torches, books about bears and materials for independent writing.
Next week we will be doing lots of spring and Easter crafts and using the story the Three little pigs for some other activities.
