Photographs of our Learning
In Science we looked at different parts of plants. Then we found out about what is inside a seed! We took a broad bean apart and identified the seed coat, food store and the baby plant.
Our plant experiment continues with some more unexpected results! Who will win the race?
In English we took part in some drama this week! We reenacted the story of "The Papaya that Spoke".
We discussed the importance of feeding the birds in the Spring. We made bird feeders using apple slices and hung them on the tree outside the classroom.
In maths we have been learning about multiplication using arrays. We made some great practical arrays using playdough.
Science Week started with a bang as we we were visited by Dorset Science for a fun Chemistry show!
In Forest School we talked about common plants that we can find in our local area. We also found out about deciduous and evergreen trees and worked together to identify the trees using twig and leaf identification sheets.
World Book Day was so much fun! We shared our favourite books with children from Falcon class and of course dressed up!
In computing we have been learning about collecting and presenting data. We investigated different ways that data could be presented before going on a flower search of the school grounds. We collected our data using tally charts before using J2Data to present what we discovered in a pictogram.
In PE we have continued our work on aiming by playing a game where we worked in teams to hit and collect as many cones as possible!
In Maths we have been practising counting in 2's, 5's and 10's in different ways.
Our growing experiment has returned some unexpected results! So far Frank, who has not been watered and Carl, in the cupboard, have begum to grow!
As part of our Book Week activities we had a fantastic visit from West End in Schools. We took part in a dance and drama workshop based on "The Wind in the Willows."
We planted seeds in different conditions. The children named each seed and chose where we would place them. Carl is in the cupboard with no light, Gerald has no soil, Pat is outside in the cold, Frank has no water and Bob will have lots of care! We will revisit our seeds each week to see how they develop.
In Maths we have been looking at comparing equations.
Our English inspiration this term is Pie Corbett's "The papaya that spoke". We found clues around the room which told us a bit about the story then we investigated and tasted some papaya!
We looked at our non fiction books to investigate our new quest.
We have a new Quest - Seeds, soil and sunshine. We discussed what we already know about the topic and worked in pairs to think of questions we are curious about.
We started our term with a a fun game of dodge the ball! We practised aiming and rolling as well as jumping and dodging!
