Today, P6M were working together to create an ‘earthquake proof’ building using spaghetti and marshmallows, as part of their World Around Us Natural Disasters topic.
P2H have been extremely busy this week. We discussed our new topic-Plants and Growth and used a KWL grid to write down everything we knew about this topic. We then thought of questions we could explore to help us find out more.
in Literacy, we read Jack and the Beanstalk and learnt that an adjective describes a noun. We thought of lots of adjectives to describe the giant in the story and played a game in pairs, matching the correct adjective to the correct noun. We wrote about our favourite part of the story.
As it was Science week, we completed a lesson on See and Eat sprouting Vegetables. We discovered the ‘field to fork’ journey of a carrot and Mrs Heare brought in carrots for us to look at closely. We even got a chance to complete an observational drawing of them.
Mrs Lee brought some of us outside to plant violas!
Carlos from Hip n Happy visited our class to help us to always remember to make good choices. He told us to stop, take 2 deep breaths and make the right choice!
We also got the bee-bots out and used our coding skills to program.
In Numeracy, we counted 2p’s and were able to use them to make amounts.
To end the week we had a party to celebrate Bethany’s birthday and winning the Shoe Box Prize for Foundation stage last week on World Book Day.
We took part in some fun activities as part of British Science Week, 2025.
We took a walk outside in the lovely sunshine to look at weeds, particularly dandelions. We learned about their importance as a food source for insects.🍃
We delved into the world of apple varieties. We used fantastic adjectives to describe their different appearances, textures and taste. We looked at the number of seeds inside in each variety and we have left the cores to the side for a few days to see what happens! Some have predicted they will go really brown!🍎🍏
We also had a really close look at Mrs Heare’s carrots! We explored how carrots grow, which parts we eat and how we cook them. We then did some super observational drawings🥕
