Science Week

This week we took part in a competition for British Science Week. We had lots of card squares that we had to use to make a reptile.We used another piece of card for the legs and tail, then stuck our 3D model onto another piece of card.  We had lots of fun, but it really made us use our Learning owl skills of perseverance, trying out different ideas and taking risks.


In science, we have also been finding out about our bodies. We have named and labelled different parts of our body. We also explored our 5 senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
The raspberries tasted juicy - Indie
The coffee smelt pretty nice - Ethan
I saw a purple flower - Lucas
I heard birds tweeting quietly - Harry


In maths, we have been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We looked at patterns on the hundred square to count in tens. We used coins for 2s and 5s and used the Diennes sticks for tens.
In tens, you wouldn't say 6, 7 or 1. You would say 10 or 20. They numbers all end in 0. Mollie
You never say odd numbers in 2s. When you count in 2s from 0, you only say even numbers. Grace


In PSHE we had a look at some boxes, bottles and pictures of medicines and cleaning products. We had a grown up conversation about how we can keep ourselves safe around the medicines. We all knew that we should only have medicines that our grown ups give us and that we shouldn't touch washing tablets and other cleaning things.


Our Star Award this week goes to Theo. He has taken responsibility for singing well, speaking clearly and listening to our instructions during our play rehearsals. he has also tried hard with his work, and talked confidently about keeping safe around medicines. Well done, Theo.


This week's Learning Owl is Mollie. Mollie is a good role model for the rest of the class, she perseveres with her work and always uses Learning through Play time to take her learning forward. Well done, Mollie. Have a great weekend with Snowy...


We've had no photocopier this week- so there's no label in the Home Learning Book, but we'd like the children to find out some information about a different country. They can record their facts in their own way.


We've been working really hard on our performance of Eddie the Penguin Saves the World and are excited to share it with you next week. We could practise our words- especially speaking clearly- over the weekend.
