During Children's Mental Health week the Owlets talked about how they feel not just in their bodies but in their minds. They learnt about different strategies that may help them to have healthy minds such as dancing, exercise, being creative and listening to music.

Capacity

In maths the Owlets have been learning about capacity. They used pasta, water and loose parts to test the capacity of different items. They made predictions about which containers would hold the most and least using descriptive language to explain their reasons. 'This one will hold the most because it is tall and wide.' 'This container is shallow so it will hold less than this container.'

In the Owlets we are learning to subitise 'We don't count, we subitise the amount.' This allows the children to recognise the composition of number. '3 and 2 makes 5 altogether.' '3 is a part, 2 is a part and 5 is the whole.'

Fruity Maths!

In maths the Owlets are learning about the concepts 'whole' and 'parts'. As part of their learning they created fruit kebabs. The children had to identify the different parts that will make up their kebab and discussed how many parts they would need and what sort of parts they would choose. This also linked to their learning in PSHE where they are discussing healthy eating. Once they had made their kebabs they enjoyed tasting the different fruit and vegetables. It was lovely to see the Owlets trying many different fruits and vegetables.
