We had Francesca as our ‘expert’ this week. She had returned
from a holiday in Morocco, and she gave the children an insight
into life in another country. We looked at maps of the area,
methods of transport and which currency is used. The children
were most amused by the goats up the tree!
The snail information centre the children set up in the outside
classroom, has been well used. During the recent showers, it
became a hive of activity with children sheltering from the rain,
and doing their observational drawings. Following on from that,
we used the spiral patterns they observed on the snail shells, to
make mobiles in the classroom. This is cross curricular, and
covers patterns in maths, and physical development with cutting
skills.
The digging area has been cleared by our ‘gardeners’, ready for
planting , and exploring!
