We've been very busy!

In our enhanced provision areas, we have been carrying out lots of magic activities that we planned in our COOL time session. COOL stands for 'Choose Our Own Learning'. In the 'tuff spot', we have been using mini broomsticks to dust away magic glitter to find 'oo' words and then putting any words we find that are real into our cauldron. In the creative area, we have been making potions in the playdough. In the literacy area, we have been writing adjectives to add to our own spells and potions recipes. In the numeracy area, we have been making symmetrical witches' hats. Our favourite however is the role-play area, where we have been pretending to be witches and wizards.

School of Wizardry- Level 2

We used our hands to explore four different materials- rice pudding, mud, cornflakes and spaghetti with paint. We then used the app 'Pic Collage' to record adjectives that described each one in pairs or groups.

School of Wizardry- level 1

29/9/2017

We have started our journey to becoming witches and wizards at the School of Wizardry this week! Level 1 meant that we had to help the witch to decide what the best ingredients for her potions would be. To do this, we chose different materials to feel with our hands and described them using an adjective. Once we'd done that, we worked with our partner to mix two materials together to create a mixture of our own and see if the texture of the materials changed. We recorded our findings by doing handprints of our chosen materials (including our mixtures at the end!) and writing an adjective underneath each one.

Simon says...

We pretended to be characters from 'Room on the Broom' today and played 'Mae witch yn dweud.../The witch says...'. This is like 'Simon says...' but more magical! We had to decide whether the witch was saying a verb or a noun.

Capital letter matching

We have been working this week on capital letters. We played a game in which we had to match the lowercase letter to its capital letter. It was tricky but we're starting to get it now!
