Insects! Insects! Insects!
This week we have been learning about insects, and we have an insect discovery table in class. We have enjoyed sorting the insects and making places for them to live.

Ice creams!
Our shared book this week was 'The Giant's Ice Cream'. Yesterday we spooned yoghurt into moulds. Mrs Rush put them in the school freezer so that we could have our own ice creams this afternoon after a busy (and hot) day at school.

Mrs Wishy Washy
We have been reading the shared book 'Mrs Wishy Washy' this week. Instead of mud (as in the book) we made gloop. The children really enjoyed the sensory experience of getting their hands into it and squishing, squeezing, dripping, oozing!

Junior Sandpit
Mr Parnell (the school caretaker) was busy working on the junior sandpit on Friday. Mr Parnell's dog was there to 'help'.
We can't wait for the sandpit to be finished!

Tennis Ball Maths!
Mrs Rush was given a huge bag of tennis balls from her tennis club! We did a Maths investigation to find out how many there were. We worked out that it was tricky to count them all one by one as we might get mixed up or forget what number we got up to.
After talking about the problem we decided to put the balls into groups of ten. Everyone got to have a turn at making a group of ten. Some of us got two turns because there were so many balls. We learned about skip-counting in tens to work out how many balls there were. At the end we had one tennis ball left, which wasn't enough to make a group of ten.
There were 141 tennis balls altogether!
Mrs Rush emailed the other teachers to share the balls with them.

Friday Afternoon Play
The Tui children had an afternoon of play on the field today. They enjoyed dressing up, playing with Mobilo and blocks. and using the large reels in different ways. What a great way to finish off the school week.
Here are some photos of the fun!
