Learning outdoors

Today the children have loved being outside in the sunshine!
The children worked together to chop the vegetables to make a yummy soup. They demonstrated that they could use tools safely and could manage risks without direct supervision. We talked about our favourite vegetables and why they are healthy for us.



In the afternoon the children learnt about tally charts, what they are and how we can create one. The children drew their favourite vegetable from the options given onto a sticky note. This was then displayed as a bar chart so that the children could see how many of their friends liked the given vegetable. We talked about which one was the most popular and which one was the least. The children could explain their reasoning and knew that the carrot was the most popular as it was the biggest number. By implementing the bar chart, the children learnt how a dash in the tally represents one vegetable. The children as a class watched their peers mark the dashes into the tally and then had a go at doing their own.
