This week the Naughty Bus sneaked into our continuous provision!

This week Elder Class have been consolidating their understanding of numbers to 10 and 20. The children challenged each other to make a number and then asked them to explain the 2 parts to make a whole. E.g 8 can be made from 7 and 1, 6 and 2, etc. 

This week in Rowan class we have explored the book ‘Naughty Bus’ and written sentences using adjectives and prepositions. We have thought about how unique we are and created a class collage based on the book ‘The Barefoot Book of Children’. In the continuous provision, children have created road maps for the London bus and their own creative transport, using Lego.
