We gathered natural resources from our playground and then made some hanging ice decorations. Our Nursery children loved watching the decorations melt and talking about how they were changing and why.
We are enjoying learning about Rio.
Class 6’s Non-Chronological Reports
We have been working hard this week and our efforts can be seen in the beautiful work we have created. We started our week by identifying features of a non-chronological report…
After researching our favourite animals we then created our very own report. Prepare to be amazed…
A HUGE well done for your efforts this week! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work 😊
Non-Chronological Reports
This week in English and Expedition we have been thinking about writing Non-Chronological reports.
We started by reading and critiquing some models.
Next we used books, videos and the internet to create a research map all about our chosen animals.
Mrs Parson’s researched an elephant. 
We then used everything we had learned about non-chronological reports and our animals to write our very own report – what do you think?
Learning about animals
Class 4 have had a very busy week learning about animals, sorting them into different groups and discussing their basic needs. The children have enjoyed singing ‘the sorting animals’ song and joining in with the actions. We have designed some feeding bowls for our pets, critiqued our work and planned our next steps. This week most children in our class have received their special award for reading lots of books at home and at school.

Class 6 Story Tellers
I am so proud of the English work I have received this week! The children have been writing their own alternative stories for ‘How To Heal a Broken Wing’, which has been the key text we have been looking at over the past few weeks. They have created some beautiful work and have used their incredible imaginations. I think we have got some budding authors and illustrators in our class 😀 Huge well done!
Class 4 have had an amazing week learning and developing their skills in writing, reading, Art and reasoning in Maths. Well done everybody for working extremely hard at school and home.

In order to answer our guiding question – Why is it important to care about animals? – this week we have been thinking about what animals and humans need to survive.
