Symmetry- Forest Schools

Today in our Forest School session we made some symmetrical patterns using natural objects. We made some beautiful patterns. When we had finished using natural objects, we also had a go at drawing a symmetrical picture on the playground with chalk.

Orbiting

Today in our forest school session we talked about the sun being a star and how different planets orbit the sun. One person got to be the sun and we had a go at orbiting in rings around them. We also found other things in the playground that we could orbit. We had a go at making stars from different natural things. They were all wonderful!

Planting Potatoes

Mrs Perry took some children out to plant some potatoes in our garden. The children had loads of fun and we can’t wait to see how they turn out!

Data Collection

During our Maths lesson we collected data about people’s favourite things such as their favourite ice cream flavour and favourite colour. We will use this data to create some block graphs.

Space Helmets

We have also used our fine motor skills to create some space helmets, with Miss Molloy, this week, using colanders and pipe cleaners. We think they are fabulous!

Gardening

We have been very lucky because Mrs Pell, our avid gardener has been teaching us how to sow and look after seeds and plants. We now have our own tyre in the garden that is our responsibility to look after!

Mark Making

We had a writing stimulus of a light up moon this week to link in with our Space topic. We absolutely loved doing some writing about it, drawing moon pictures and playing with the remote control to make it change colour!

Money, Money, Money!

This week we are looking at money. We set up a shop in our classroom and we had to work out how many pennies we needed to buy different things. We even thought about how we could make the amounts in different ways. The shop keepers had to be very strict to make sure they were given the correct amount of money!

Make it rAIn

Miss Molloy’s group have been looking at the ‘ai’ sound in Phonics. They went outside with umbrellas, rain sticks and squirty bottles of water and made it rAIn!
