Looked at shapes and thought about materials in the classroom. Then on the farm walk we looked for shapes we could name and talked about the use of different materials.

The wonderful Year 1 from Bredon Hancocks visited today. Their theme was Jack and the Beanstalk and plants.
The children were great at retelling the story of Jack and his magic beans.
In the den building wood the children were asked to build a beanstalk, using sticks and leaves. They were asked to make a nest of golden eggs at the top of the beanstalk.
