RBingham - Exploring - On Safari (week 1)

 Exploring - On Safari

This week we have enjoyed the story 'Handa's Surprise' and talked about living in a village in Kenya. 

We found Africa on a world map.

We have been learning about what it might be like to go on a Safari.

We named lots of animals that live in Africa. 

We talked about the similarities and differences between a Safari and a Zoo.

We have named the different fruits from the story such as guava, passion fruit, mango, avacado, tangerines, and sequenced the animals that took Handa's fruit using ordinal numbers. 

We talked about how we could travel to Africa. We decided that it would be quickest by aeroplane, so we built planes to get there.

George's parents have been lucky enough to go on a Safari holiday. He brought a map, African mask and a porcupine quill in to school to show us!

We have had a great time going on a Safari in our wonderful role play area. You wouldn't believe how many animals we have spotted!

We have enjoyed creating a Safari using our small world and construction.

We have been busy making Safari maps, labelling lots of different animals.

We have enjoyed looking at information books and drawing animals carefully, looking at the patterns on their skin/fur.

We also used a drawing app on our IPads to draw Safari animals too.

We created Safari animals using our tap-tap shapes.

We have been using 2 tens frames to make teen numbers. We counted on from 10.

Another busy, fun-filled week!
