18 - 31 May Trains and stuff!

-
We had a couple of weeks of doing train themed activities and other things. I forgot to take photos for a lot of it though!

We've also been reading lots of books, on the libby app as well as watching Vooks videos and other online books where we can find them.

We played the Ticket to ride board game.


We cut out and folded a paper train model. Vin got some wool and tied his 2 bits together so they were joined.


Vin drew a funny picure of Bunny Vs Monkey from his Phoenix comic


We cut out a sequence of events from George Stephenson's life and put them into Chronological order


We read about Isambard Kingdom Brunel and coloured in the pictures.


Vin drew a railway for his paper train to travel on.


We solved a puzzle working out the missing times from a timetable.


We read a pretend newspaper article about the first railway opening and answered a quiz.


Vin made faces for various pieces of furniture...


We read facts about train drivers and answered another quiz (think we'll give the Twinkl quizzes a bit of a break soon!)


Vin made a board game


We saw baby moorhens at the park


We solved an Escape room "at home" with maths puzzles. We did some online escape rooms for children too - one about pirates and one about egypt.


We watched some of Maddie Moate's lockdown youtube show. We had a go at making a panoramic picture with multiple Vinnies!


Vin has been building loads of Ninjago things inspired by the Lego Ninjago video game and his Ninjgao visual dictionary.

 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...
