book day & maths

Today, as it was World Book Day, I got our y4's to combine their love of books and Maths(!!). They used the shapes from a tangram to create book characters. They came up with lots of really inventive ones like these - Peter Rabbit & The Ugly Duckling.

Our FS1 setting has a circus theme in one of it's areas. Today we coloured 'acrobats' to hang from a 'high wire' (woollen thread).This is a pic of my mock-ups to test the idea out. Obviously based heavily on those plastic monkeys that come in a barrel.

 

 

We've also been drawing clowns. From the starting point of a triangle and, by following step by step instructions the children have drawn some fantastic juggling clowns- not bad for 3 year olds.
