We have been very busy this week exploring 2d and 3d shapes, making patterns and sorting shapes. We have been working with our partners and supporting one another when learning about the features of non-chronological reports, reading texts and discussing them.

Repeating patterns
In Nursery we have been using different resources to create repeating patterns.
Early Years Engineers
We have been busy in our Reception classes building, creating and making:
A home for the animals 
A tent to sleep in

“My house of sticks for the Three Little Pigs” 
“A kingdom house in London” 
‘A triangle house” 
Paper people 
“A BIG HOUSE!”
Fact finding
This week in Class 3 we have been exploring features of non-chronological reports in our shared reading lessons. We have also demonstrated great decoding skills and found out so many interesting facts about polar bears.
Fantastic Food Chains
Today in class 6 we were learning about food chains. The children worked in collaborative groups to sort pictures to make food chains. It was lovely to see them all engaged in their learning.
Making predictions
As part of our new expedition we set up an experiment to see how different objects react to being submerged in water. We added tissues, a swim nappy, a plastic toy and a packet of crisp to bowls of water and will keep observing them over the next few weeks!
Making Jellyfish
As part of our immersion we all made Jellyfish. The children were preserving parrots and concentrating crocodiles as some found the threading quite challenging.
How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
Class 6 spent the first week of the spring term immersing themselves in our new expedition. They have worked very hard and I’m sure you’ll agree our classroom looks amazing!
Text Coding
This morning we have been reading a non chronological report all about polar bears and text coding the important features – we have been looking for subheadings, ambitious vocabulary and question marks.
Classification Keys
We have been grappling with classification keys as part of our science case study. We have been hard working and resilient – we even managed to write some of our own!
