Star Wars theme

-
Vin hasn't seen any of the Star Wars films but he enjoys the books and characters and of course the toys. He chose to do a Star Wars theme for a few weeks!

We've had some Storm Troopers surfing in water beads (and lots of other fun scooping and pouring and squishing the beads):


Lots of geocaching adventures:


Star wars sticker and activity books:


The shelves were filled with Star Wars themed lego, books and games!


We did some Star Wars themed pattern making and maths and cutting practice:



We made a graph charting how many times each character appeared on the face of the die:


And some more adding and subtracting practice as well as measuring:


Lots of Star Wars theme lego was built:



We had a go at drawing some Star Wars characters and locations:
(top to bottom: starkiller base, R2D2, a wompa, tie fighter, storm trooper)


We made an acrostic poem about Darth Vader. First verse by Vinnie, second verse by mummy. All written down by Vin!


Vin has also continued doing his regular writing sheet practice:


We helped put up tree identification tags at the park:


Vin coloured in a picture with lots of beautiful colours!


We baked some cakes:


Vin drew a self portrait at the museum:


Vin wrote a note and drew a picture for a friend:


We've also spent lots of time with friends and family at home and at parks and forests and had lovely days out at Drusillas and Emmetts Garden. And lots of time chilling out at home reading books.

Darth Vader loves puzzle adventures!

 This is our last week of the year before we take 3 weeks off for Christmas and New Year. Our week started with something a bit unusual - snow! We went sledging, built a snow gorilla, had snowball fights and of course, as per our theme, built snow castles! Our theme for article of the week this week is all about the lead up to the Age of Exploration. We read about the travels of Marco Polo, the methods used for navigation, the spice trade, and the new ships the Europeans started making in the Middle Ages to help them travel longer distances. We had some more fun with numbers. We practiced more adding and subtracting within 20 and tried out some different methods of making it easier when subtracting such as breaking the number down so you can get to an easier number first then subtract the rest. We played sum bingo, a sum matching memory game, a number bonds to 20 matching memory game, and a game where we had to find the missing number to add to make a total and do that many of an a...

 A bit of a quieter week this week as we had a few family things to do. We made some lego stop motion videos. We found the youtube channel of the person from the legocon thing we watched last week and got some tips and inspiration. Then we set up our scenes and made our own. We played with lots of lego too, watched some octonauts, played some games.  We went out to a new nature area with some friends and we identified some creatures we found using google lens on the app. We think this guy is a lesser stag beetle. The first 2 strawberries from our garden were ready to eat! We also went to a wedding and Vin had fun playing with some children there.

 This week we did some more activities about money. We practiced identifying coins and adding them up. We played Ed and Bunny go shopping. Vinnie filled in an activity sheet with lots of addition and subtraction of money. V read a couple of story books about people saving money and raising money. We also did some white rose maths activities. We did the letterbox lab experiment making a rubber band helicopter. We tried out different things to find out the best balance between size and weight of the helicopter compared to the blades.  Vinnie did some pages from his handwriting book, his comprehension activities book and his spelling practice book.  He drew some lovely fun pictures. He is very inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog at the moment so has drawn some fun scenes with the characters from the games and cartoons. We did some puzzles together. Vinnie chose some mini mysteries to watch on mystery science, we enjoyed watching about how lego bricks were invented, and why people...
