The children in Ospreys have been learning all about capacity. They used measuring cylinders to measure different coloured liquids and recorded their findings.
Revamping the senses garden
The Senses Garden club have been hard at work this term, weeding, scrubbing, cutting and composting! A new group of children will be starting next term, so the original group left their farewell mark on the garden today by beginning to paint the central bench a cheery blue.
Well done to all of the children for working so hard to improve part of their school environment, and a big thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Bennett who have stepped in to get our fountain up and running again.
Spot the frog!
Gardening club have found a frog in the pond – have a look and see if you can see it.
Jammin’ !
Have a look at Owls making Jam Sandwiches – they used this as inspiration for instruction writing.
Researching African Animals
The Peregrines class have been using the school iPads to help find out about African animals. Children chose their favourite animal before using an information app to find out more about it. They completed pages by researching where their animal lives, what it looks like and what it likes to eat among other facts. These fact-files will be made into a class book about African Animals. This was a super activity to get the children reading, writing, using ICT, geography skills and drawing for a purpose.
Able Maths
Well done Erin, Ruby, Toby and Joe. They competed in the year 5 able maths challenge against 28 other teams.
What do we want to be when we grow up?
What career paths do you think our reception class will take?
Fun in the sun
