Carrots!

Class 3 have been on a fact finding mission this afternoon, finding and reading interesting facts about carrots to add to our anchor charts. It was lovely to see how confidently they applied their phonics skills to the challenge.

They also learnt a new skill and got to grips with a new piece of equipment whilst peeling the carrots.

In art we looked carefully at the detail on the carrots when completing our line drawings. We critiqued our first drafts thinking about how we could improve them.

We’re looking forward to completing our carrotfact files

Green Fingers in Class 3!

We had fun during our family learning session this afternoon when our grown ups joined us in class to find out the title of our new expedition ‘Ready, Steady, Grow! How will I be the healthiest version on me?’ We planted cress heads and peas and can’t wait to watch them grow.

Oliver’s Vegetables

After reading our new core text ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ we have been finding out all about spinach. In our tasting session everyone was willing to have a try and some of us were even surprised that we liked it! We identified the features of fact files in preparation for writing some of our own. Finally, we ended the afternoon with a lovely art lesson and gallery walk to look at everyone’s first drafts. We can’t wait to have a go at a second draft.

Fruit Tasting

We have been showing courage this morning tasting lots of different fruits that we have read about in Handa’s Surprise. We thought carefully and used our anchor chart to describe the different fruits.

We pulled some funny faces trying some of the sour fruits!

We have had a lovely week in our crew reading books with our partners and looking at our beautiful work. We enjoyed our story time and a warm cup of hot chocolate during our outdoor crew session.

Photograph Bingo

Class Five have been busy in computing learning how to use digital devices to take photographs. We also learnt when it is okay to take someones photograph.

I’m looking forward to seeing your completed ‘photography bingo boards’!

Brilliant Bog Babies

Children in Reception have really enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Bog Baby’. They have been making links to being kind and have noticed all of the kind actions of characters in the story. The story inspired them to draw pictures and make some amazing clay models.
