Fun sorting activity - Bar graphs and tally charts

(9)
3 x differentiated activity to help children practice their data handling skills. LA children have a poster of aliens to count, sort and record on a bar graph. MA children have a larger selection of toys on a poster to tally then record on a bar graph. HA children have higher numbers of different types of food on a poster to tally then record on a bar graph. There are also questions on the data for the children to answer afterwards.
The Celery Experiment

The Celery Experiment

(7)
A quick and simple science investigation to show how plants use water. Just cut the end off a piece of celery and pop it in some red or blue food colouring - Eventually, the celery will have a red or blue tint as it absorbs the colouring, particularly on the end. We left it over the weekend to ensure nice bright results, but overnight would probably work too.

Continuous provision - Characters and settings.

(1)
I made a 'character drawer&', full of brightly coloured laminated well known characters (from children&';s literature, Disney, Pixar, etc), and a 'settings drawer&', full of laminated A4 sheets showing all sorts of different settings, including photographs, animated and multicultural scenes. The idea is that children choose a character/characters and a setting, and write an imaginative story or some sentences. I also included tiny flashcards saying each of the characters names, so the children can match up the pictures with the words.
