Children as learners

31/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The children in Reception have been talking about helping each other, challenging themselves and reflecting on their own learning.
The children at Pikes Lane are encouraged to develop a growth mindset, and this starts with our youngest children in EYFS. The children have been talking about things they are good at, things they have got better at, and things they find tricky. They have looked at the progress they have made in their learning journeys. They have super coached their friends to get better at things they find tricky. The children are always encouraged to challenge themselves.

Chick update

24/3/2017

6 chicks hatched from our egg delivery. The children have been extremely lucky to watch them pipping (where the chicks use their beak to peck from inside the egg) and hatching! We have all fallen in love with the chicks, and the children have been very gentle when holding them.
The children have learnt so much about chicks, their life cycle and caring for animals. It has been a really great experience and links to 'Understanding the World'.

The children read the story 'The Cow That Laid an Egg'... do you think cows really lay eggs?
We have done lots of research into oviparous animals. Can you write a list of animals that lay eggs?

Odd eggs...

Old Macdonald visited school after the boys and girls went home last night and left us some eggs!

We weren't sure what kind of eggs they were so we had to investigate! Some of the children researched oviparous animals (animals that lay eggs) using the laptops and iPads. Some of the children read a non fiction book about eggs; they thought we might have penguin eggs, but then we discovered that penguin eggs measure 11-12cm, and ours measure 6cm. Some of the children looked at duck, hen and quail eggs and then compared them to the eggs in the incubator. Some of the children read 'The Odd Egg' and decided our eggs definitely weren't crocodiles! We got an email from Old Macdonald confirming that they are actually chicks! We can't wait for them to hatch!

This afternoon the children have been exploring form and function as they learn about droids.The children have been engaging in collaborative droid building and have challenged themselves to think about what droids look like and what they can do. They thought of there own droid names, wrote a droid name label and presented their droid to the class.
