After our observational drawing of apples on Friday we had the opportunity to taste some cooking apples to see how they are different from the apples we eat at snack time. The children also helped to stew the apple and some of us were even brave enough to try some of the stewed apple on a biscuit. 

Today we were able to sequence the pictures in the correct order to recall how we made our apple treat.  The children also labelled their pictures by following along with the sounds as they were written on the board.

This term our WAU topic has been ‘Trees’ and the children have really enjoyed learning about seasonal changes, seeds and why trees are important to our environment. As part of our exploration we went on a scavenger hunt and gathered natural materials, which we examined and sorted. We then made Mandalas with them. Finally we planted the conkers and acorns we’d gathered. Hopefully we will all have seedlings to take home next spring.

This afternoon we enjoyed a visit from the Dog’s Trust. We learnt how dogs should be treated  in order to keep them and ourselves safe. Also, congratulations to this month’s teacher certificate winners and our GTBG winner for Term 1A.

P4SK were bursting with excitement when creating our AI animals using Adobe Express. We then sent our animals on some fun adventures in our story writing. Hopefully the judges at Newsdesk are as impressed as we are with the creations.

This week, we have been painting apples. We began by picking an apple each and studying it closely, observing the different shades of colour we could see and any marks or bumps. We then set to work using our paints to recreate what we had observed.
