🔢 Tuff Tray Number Game 🔢 Take one tuff tray

🔢 Tuff Tray Number Game 🔢
Take one tuff tray, add a set of Number Pebbles and a brilliant idea and you have a instant classroom game! Love this post from @katiesclassroom_ 💕

#regram Board Game! ✨

All credit goes to @play_provision_ks1 for this fabulous maths game idea that I magpied from you!! 💫 Make sure you head over and follow if you don’t already 💖

The children went mad over this game!😂 I said maximum 4 players but half the class went over there when it was choosing time 😂 so many wonderful skills being learnt or consolidated here. Collaboration, turn-taking, counting, reading... the list goes on! 🌸

This was definitely the most popular area yesterday! Tuff tray games are the way forward I think 🙌🏻

What a great way to use our Sum-building Pebbles. And they are more than tough enough for this challenge! This idea would also work brilliantly with our Alphabet Pebbles. Can you build a word?

🐞 🦋 Magnificent Minibeasts (and where to find them) 🦋 🐞
The beautiful Autumnal colours of this post from @ladybird.library caught my eye and I just had to share 💕

#regram We are still continuing with some #enwcminibeastweek into this coming week when we start #enwcautumnequinox so I wanted to set something up for O to do at her little art table that she can dip in and out of as she likes. A little set up with mud playdough (I love the @imaginationtree best ever no-cook recipe, glycerin is the magic ingredient - I subbed out some of the flour for coir compost that I dehydrated and sterilised in the oven), some natural loose parts and tumbled gemstones and some minibeast stones from @yellow_door_education - these are made from a composite stone material and can be used outside too. We’ve done treasure hunts, wax block rubbings, clay and playdough with them and they are incredibly detailed. Swipe to see close ups of the stones and our realistic non-Pinterest set up - using a large silicone pastry mat is brilliant for playdough and clay as their little creations lift off it so easily and I love the sunken @ikeauk trofast trays in our @lidlgb table as they stop things constantly rolling onto the floor. #playdoughinvitation #exploringnaturewithchildren #loosepartsplay #preschoolathome #thisishomeed #homeeducationuk #homeeducationlookslikethis #earlyyearsideas #earlyyearsactivities #letthemplay #natureplay #sensoryplayideas

🍄 🍐 Feast of Nature 🍐 🍄

This resource has been getting a lot of Insta love lately so I thought it was time for a proper introduction..

Ideal for sensory play activities, this exquisite set of sculptures cry out to be touched, held, and enjoyed. The mixture of shapes and textures gives good feedback to touch, as does the weighty feel. They are genuinely durable enough to be played with outside, including in sand, soil, mud, and water. The set includes eight fruits of nature: acorn, squash, raspberry, blueberry, mushroom, pine cone, apple, and pear. They can be sorted and classified by different attributes, including colour, shape, and texture, leading to valuable discussion and vocabulary development. Comparisons with their real-life counterparts can lead to work on habitats, whether they are a safe food source and, if so, for who or what.

📚 Book Quarantine 📚
Bringing a book home from school is an exciting part of a child’s reading journey. Government guidelines suggest books needs to be quarantined for 48 hours before they can be shared with another family to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. We’ve immediately lowered the price of our Ragtag Rhymes by up to 50%. Each book is fully decodable and can be used alongside any phonics scheme. Just head to the website (link in bio) and search for Ragtag Rhymes to find out more.

🍁Autumn Forage 🍁 This season is so wonderful

🍁Autumn Forage 🍁
This season is so wonderful for exploring different colours, shapes and textures. This beautiful sensory play tray created by @playingwithprimrose is a perfect example. Thanks for tagging us in your play 💕

Regram •FORAGE•
Primrose had so much fun with this #playinatray set up. I made different shades of taste safe autumn coloured cloud dough, added our tactile ‘Feast of Nature’ stones and some cinnamon sticks for scent & mark making. The stones made the most amazing imprints in the cloud dough and Posy loved tapping/rubbing them together to hear the beautiful noise they make! She used a cinnamon stick to tap the pumpkin and poked/swished/scratched the dough, making lovely marks. This was her first time playing with cloud dough, she adored the texture and liked squishing it with her hands & feet. This activity was brilliant for introducing a new sensory base, for building an understanding of cause and effect, fine motor skills, concentration, creativity and weight/shape. Scroll through to see the cutest videos! Don’t forget to use my code FLO10 for a 10% discount when ordering from @the.future.image where you can find these lovely @yellow_door_education ‘Feast of Nature’ stones.

⭐️ How are you feeling today?⭐️
It’s been a busy week! Lots of first days at school, last days at nursery and every else in between. Saying hello and goodbye can bring up many emotions so it’s good to encourage children to check-in with their emotions. Of course, it’s important for the adults too 😀

😀☹️Muddy Faces ☹️😀
Using natural loose parts to recreate faces is a lovely way to introduce and explore emotions with young children. We love this as an outdoor activity using mud and natural objects but you could also use playdough, mirrors or drawn face shapes as a base depending on what you have access to.

⏰ Emotions O’clock ⏰

Completely in love with our new road shape boards from @learnwell_education and our shape stones and shape finders from @yellow_door_education! Shapes have been something Isabella has been struggling to retain so Im hoping these stunning resources will enthuse her and help he remember which shape is which. Our little @rudiandbear Ned is coming along for the ride too in his @_wooden_dreams car! Don’t they all work so well together?!

🎶 Keeping the Beat 🎶
I simply had to share this amazing post from @little_wild_wonders showing the wonderful Florrie being introduced to her Beat Baby.

#regram ✨Beat baby✨⁣
Say the words to your little one, whilst tapping your hand on your knee... (if you’re not sure, see my stories, but please excuse my non singing voice!!!! 😅)⁣
⁣
“Beat baby, beat baby,⁣
Oh so small,⁣
⁣
Beat baby, beat baby,⁣
Curled up in a ball,⁣
⁣
Beat baby, beat baby,⁣
Can’t see you at all⁣
⁣
Beat baby, beat baby,⁣
Will you hear our call?“⁣
⁣
I used to love the help of this little monkey 🐒 when teaching my pupils how to keep a steady beat, in our music sessions. Ros Bayley is the lady who first founded this resource and she produced a book (which I had misplaced, but since reordered as I found them on @yellow_door_education website yippee!!! 🥳). In the handbook there are lots of themed songs and ‘raps’ to help aid children in learning how to keep a steady beat. ‘It’s a multisensory resource, that grabs your child’s attention, it encourages emotional engagement and it can be used for nurturing turn-taking and positive behaviour’. I’ve used mine for many years in the classroom and have now decided to introduce mine to our children! Florrie enjoyed our little sing-song, whilst in the shade under my parents willow tree this afternoon🌲 🥰🎶

Love this dinosaur dig and discover tray. Our Match and Measure Bones are completely durable for use in sand, soil and water. The cards are plastic so they can follow the play. Easy to clean afterwards too 🤩

Dinosaur bones 🦖🦕🦴
It’s a hot one today! Due to be 34 here so we’re using the only tiny bit shade we have before it gets too hot 😂
This morning for #earlymathsfun I’ve set up our new dinosaur bones and measuring mats by @yellow_door_education for Luke to dig up and match on the different mats.
We also have the bee and ladybird mats which are great for pattern making & number play but I like that these have the scale across the bottom in centimetres and inches so as Luke gets older he can compare and work out the length 🎉
