Working on our theme of ‘birds’, the children made spruce cone bird feeders with a selection of seeds in suet.  They used feathers in nurture activities and engaged in various other things related to birds.

We had great fun exploring the remarkable adaptations that allow animals to thrive in different habitats around the world.

We discovered hummingbirds have specific shaped beaks to fit inside specific flowers in order to get nectar. Some are long and thin, others are short and curved.
Some birds that live on or near the water need to try to keep their feathers dry in order to fly. That is why they have very long legs! Other birds that need to swim underwater for food have waterproof feathers!

We had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day 2025! 📚🌍

The children looked amazing in their costumes and got creative with their brilliant Book in a Box projects.
We were also treated to a special visit from a librarian, who read us a fun story by Julia Donaldson. Everyone joined in, made predictions and had a great time exploring the magic of books!

We had an exciting day, dressing up as pirates and teaming up with P3WA for iZak9 challenges, PE with Captain Steve and a treasure hunt outside. We boarded each others classrooms to show off our costumes and practise our best pirate talk. It was a day full of fun and adventure!

Today's numeracy lesson coincided with Outdoor Classroom Day, where P3F enjoyed a fun and engaging 3D shape hunt. This hands-on activity sparked plenty of mathematical thinking and discussion as children explored and identified shapes in the environment.

Today children used Adobe Creative Cloud Express to generate imaginative and fun AI images of minibeasts! We had lots of fun creating, discussing and sharing these images. We hope you do too!

September was a month full of exciting learning and exploration! We celebrated our Mathletics and Healthy Kidz certificate winners and birthdays, bringing joy to our classroom. The children enjoyed an alphabet scavenger hunt and a mini beast hunt. In ICT, we used JIT Paint and Mix to create digital art and presentations about mini beasts. Children developed our communication skills through talking partners and group work in numeracy. Things got a bit whiffy as we measured our shoes! Children explored non-fiction books from the library to find interesting facts, studied and drew mini beasts with pastels, and even had their own art gallery viewing session. In literacy, children followed instructions to make a jam sandwich! We even found time to get creative with natural materials. Can you spot which mini beasts we have made?
