We have had a fantastic week starting our
Enchanted Woodland topic. On Monday we made title pages for our topic books and
learnt to measure using balance scales in maths. The children then used the
cookery room to make fairy cup cakes by using two eggs and measured out
ingredients by balancing the flour, sugar and butter with the eggs.
On Tuesday it was our Enchanted Woodland
WOW day which was a huge success. The children had so much fun and thank you
all for providing some excellent costumes. Activities included wand making,
magic potions, lolly stick fairies, fairy doors, dream catchers, stick crowns
and the children decorated their cup cakes. Thank you also to the parents who
came to help, we really appreciated the extra adults to allow so many activities.
In Science we have been learning about
plants and trees. The children have been on a tree hunt outside and used a
spotter sheet to identify trees using their leaves. We also learnt how to
classify deciduous and evergreen trees. The children enjoyed watching some
videos of Andy Goldsworthy making some art using leaves.
We have given out a spellings book to all
of the children with 5 spellings to learn. These will go home each week for the
children to practise and we will do a short spelling test on a Friday. Please
make sure they keep their spelling books in their book bags so that they have
them at school to practise and for us to stick the new spellings in each
Friday. Please see the letter inside the cover with more information.
Reminder-
Please can the children bring in a shoe box in next week which we will be using
for a DT project.
