This week the children have all enjoyed their first woodwork sessions. First they explored the safety aspects of woodwork including the importance of safety goggles and safe use of tools. They used a variety of different size and thickness of balsa wood, different sized nails and a variety of mixed media such as bottle tops, corks and beads for their creations. They also learned how to use a Japanese saw safely with an adult. The children had lots of fun exploring and we were very impressed with their creations.
On Thursday the children enjoyed taking part in an athletics workshop led by our School Sports Partnership. They practised the key skills of athletics such as throwing, catching, balance, coordination and teamwork skills.
In maths this week, we have been revisiting doubling, odds and evens and composition of number to 10. We are thrilled to see the children use a range of resources such as fingers, counters and rekenreks to solve their mathematical problems.
