Making igloos, by Miss Fann
Date: 1st Feb 2024 @ 8:33pm
Over the past few weeks, the children in Beesley Class have been exploring the Arctic. The children have been looking at the animals that live in the Arctic and have been looking at photographs to compare it with our local area, Bamber Bridge. The children noticed how many different types of buildings are in Bamber Bridge and we talked about where people may take shelter from the cold in the Arctic. This led to our exploration of igloos. The children worked together to use the junk modelling materials to create their igloos. The children have been looking at joining by exploring using different types of glue and tape. We found that some types of glue were better at joining materials such as cardboard with another material, whereas some types wouldn't allow the materials to join. The children have started to decorate their igloos and have started to use different textures on their models.
Once the igloos have dried the children are looking forward to putting them in the Small World Area of our classroom and using them in their play. A fantastic example of the children building for a purpose!
Elsa visits Beesley Class!, by Miss Fann
Date: 30th Jan 2024 @ 9:50am
The children of Beesley class were shocked to see that Elsa had paid a visit to their classroom and, not only that, Elsa had used her magical powers and frozen all of the animals! The children had a go at exploring the ice talking about how it felt to touch and what it looked like. The children shared their ideas about how they thought the animals could be rescued. Some of the children's ideas included; "smash the ice", "put water on it" and "get an ice hammer." As a class we then talked about freezing and melting. We explored what happened when we held the ice in our hands and noticed that some of it melted into water.
The children were then given the challenge to rescue the animals from the ice. It was fantastic to see the children share their ideas and exploring throughout the challenge.
We are pleased to say that the children managed to rescue all of the animals.Well done Beesley Class! Great teamwork!
