Maple
We have continued exploring our story time book, 'Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!' by Mo Willems. Maple class have been on a letter hunt after the pesky pigeon stole letters from the book, in addition to creating their very own 'The pigeon on the bus' song. During Year 1 choosing time activities and Year R Discovery learning, we have painted pigeon footprints, made nests for pigeons and other birds, and even rescued lots of woolly worms!
Rowan
This week Rowan class have been exploring food, food safety and food hygiene. They tried using several tools including a cheese grater, potato peeler, knives, wooden spoons, measuring spoons and spatulas. They cut cucumber and lettuce with a knife, grated cheese with a cheese grater, mashed banana with a fork, spread butter on bread with a butter knife, peeled a potato with a potato peeler, measured flour with a measuring spoon and mixed flour and water with a wooden spoon. They really showed resilience when trying to peel the potatoes, a tricky task! They were fantastically organised and so sensible when it came to safety. Well done Rowan class!
Birch
After a very wet week, Birch Class were delighted to get outside for the start of their tennis unit in PE. They enjoyed getting used to handling the equipment and learnt the 'ready' stance. I wonder if we have any budding Wimbledon stars?
Aspen
Aspen's Topic, Sow, Grow and Farm, the children have been learning about Land Art. This week they have used various materials found in Mr Viney's garden to plan their own Land Art in readiness to create a large-scale piece of Art from natural resources!
