This week in chestnut class we have begun exploring our new story in literacy and learnt lots about the importance of looking after our world. The children have been passionate about showing ways we need to protect our waters, whether that be the seas or rivers as well as the life that lives in them. We have made posters and written poems to express how important it is to take care of our environment including putting litter in the bins and not taking shells from the beach.
Drawing club this week has been the story Farmer Duck and the children have drawn their own farmer duck, designed a new tractor for the farm and considered a way for the animals to chase away the lazy farmer. In science, year 1 conducted an experiment looking at absorbent materials. We made a prediction and then tested different materials to see which was the most and least absorbent when placed in water. Both reception and year 1 have been looking at measuring this week. We started the week comparing lengths thinking about shorter and longer and sorting objects by length. We have also measured using objects such as cubes before using a ruler to measure in CM. On Thursday we had a lovely afternoon, starting with painting our pinch pots that the children began making last week with Miss Brooking and then enjoyed the sunshine out in forest school with Acorn and Sycamore class. It was lovely seeing our youngest children spending time with our eldest children in school everyone helping Karen with the pond. Have a great weekend Miss Warwick and Team Comments are closed.
