This week in Kingfishers

Kingfishers have had an excellent learning week, exploring our project theme of United even further with the use of maps to research, find and name the different countries that make the United Kingdom. Using atlases and the internet has helped us to discover what and where the countries are on a map.

Continuing with our project theme, we also explored flags and looked at all the flags around the world. Each child chose a flag to recreate using different mediums, such as paint and pencil; others used the collage technique, ripping, overlapping and sticking to make parts of a flag. 

In maths this week, we have been investigating greater than, less than and equal to. One activity was Numicon City, where children had to match the numicon pieces in the building shapes, find out how much they were worth and then compare them using the 3 statements of 'greater than, less than and equal to'. 

In science, Kingfishers have been inspecting different materials, with a link to our theme of ocean pollution. Children were able to recognise and name materials then compare and organise into groups of 'plastic' and 'non-plastic'.
