Our learning

In maths we have been looking at comparison signs and working outside to write some chalk calculations down that made sense depending on what our sign was.

As part of our growing topic we have been labelling parts of a plant. We have also created our own plant pictures and labelled them.

As part of our active minutes we have been practising our Golden Mile each day. We are getting better and better. Today we had our next assessment of how much we have improved. Everyone did very well. Here are some pictures.

Yoga with Stevi - we had a wonderful session of yoga this afternoon. The children were so good at listening to instructions and getting into all the poses and the special love potion at the end smelt amazing!

Planting cress seeds - the children were amazed we didn't need to use soil and they would still grow. We talked about how the seeds would still anchor their roots into the cotton wool.

Watering our plants and adding some lettuce too.

We started a new topic today by reading the book 'How to grow a dinosaur together'. We learnt what a plant needs to grow and then went outside and planted some carrots, sunflowers and different types of flowers. We will look after these over the coming weeks and see what we can grow. We have also been busy making salt dough so that we can make our own dinosaur bones and fossils.

What a surprise we had today! First, we came back into the classroom to find a letter we had to read. The Easter Bunny had left it and set us a challenge. There were 10 eggs hidden outside that we had to work together to find. We completed the challenge and then after break... the Easter Bunny had been and filled our Easter baskets with yummy chocolate eggs.

Lots of Easter fun in the sun!

We have been learning about the different traditions we celebrate which are linked to the Easter Story - pancake races, Easter egg hunts, construction building a cross, eating hot cross buns and crafting our own Easter bunnies.

Using our fine motor skills to cut and spread hot cross buns - they tasted yummy.

Maths work today using lots of different resources.

Spring Science Walk looking for the seasonal changes we could spot. We saw the difference between evergreen and deciduous trees and the new buds and flowers coming through. The children had a great time and were very tired by the time we got back to school.

Our 'snot' experiment! Everyone really enjoyed it.

More Science habitats we have made.

Part Whole models - we have been looking at part whole models today and using practical resources to make these. We started with cubes before moving onto writing out the numbers and finally the calculations we had created.

Fireworks - As it is bonfire night this week we have been learning about Guy Fawkes and we watched the London Fireworks on You Tube. We then made firework pictures using Pointillism, wrote about the noises fireworks make and made our very own sparklers!

Harvest - We discussed the things we are thankful for in ours lives and how we have collected food donations previously to donate to the community.

Our art project. We have created a whole class piece of art. We are very proud of it.
