Potions, paintings and parachutes
Maple
Maple Class loved the autumn sunshine in Forest School this week. They loved making mud potions and searching for the largest leaves they could find. In science, children have started to learn to sort using Venn diagrams. YR children have been learning to represent 3 and 4 in different ways.
Rowan

Birch

Sycamore
In our maths lessons we have been learning about addition and subtraction. To help with this, we played a short game called “strike it out” to warm our brains up for when we need to do quick mental addition and subtraction.
Aspen
This week Aspen class have been learning about air resistance and how the larger the surface area of an object the greater the resistance. They built and designed three different parachutes each, changing a variable on each one, to see what effect it would have on the air resistance. They really enjoyed being creative and testing their parachutes. Well done Aspen class.
Elm
This week in Elm class we were finalising our skills of tints, tones, and shades, using them to create a landscape piece incorporating all three
