Ahoy! F1 Pirates on board!

F1 pirates have been very busy this week! They enjoyed lots of dressing-up in the pirate ship role-play area and have shown their skills in using the swords to fight off Captain Hook and his crew! The children demonstrated incredible braveness and strength!

                   

                     

In our small-world area, we put up a teepee and the children loved going in and out of it! They also enjoyed looking at each other through the window and they even brought books and toys inside!

                        

                        

In the Workshop area, we have been threading beads, making treasures of necklaces and bracelets! Some children found the activity challenging so we will continue this next week to develop their threading skills and improve their hand-eye coordination.

In the Malleable area, Ms Precious, Ms Christine and the children made sparkly white and yellow playdough. The pirates were very happy to see such treasure! We have also put out boat and ship cutters and the children loved using them to make their own water transport!

                       

In our Investigation area, we put boats and water in the tuff spot. The children used the boats for small-world play and they even added some more resources in it independently.

In the Mark-making area, the children are currently showing an interest in magic slates and we have been encouraging them to draw and ascribe meaning to what they have made. David really enjoyed drawing trucks, buses, cars and ships!

In the Construction area, we have made small pirate standees and we put them on the carpet with bricks. The children have been making towers, houses and ships for the pirates! Gianna and her friends made a tall tower and she said "Wow! Amazing!"

                 

In our Mathematics area, we have been sorting transport counters by colour and kind. Most of the children are now able to name the transport and even the sound they make!

For ICT activities this week, we have been looking at different photos of pirates and their ships. We have also watched 'Peter Pan' and all the children had fun seeing the adventures of Peter Pan, Wendy and her brothers, the lost boys, Captain Hook and the crocodile that Captain Hook dreads the most! 

It was another fantastic week in F1! They children are more settled and they have been showing lots of interests in all learning areas! Well done!
