We had great fun doing multi skills in PE on the field!

We have had a great week doing lots of fun Easter activities. We have made chicks, bunnies, Easter nests, decorated eggs and decorated biscuits. We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming our chicks into the world and learning about them. They will be back after the holidays so you can see how much they have grown.

We wrote letters to the zoo asking for a pet, we designed our own zoo, created enclosures for the animals and retold the story.
We used the balance scales to weigh and compare the weight of the Dear Zoo animals. The children used fantastic mathematical language ‘heavier, lighter, tallest and smallest’.

We walked into a crime scene in the classroom on Monday and had to help solve what had happened….
After hearing the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears the children were on the hunt for Goldilocks. They searched the classroom, outdoors and all around school. Goldilocks had been up to no good and we found more traces of her naughty tricks. We had to show Miss Northen what she had been up to…
We have enjoyed mark making in different ways. Making wanted posters to help catch Goldilocks, making patterns and name writing in porridge oats, colouring and painting and lots more…
