In Art so far the children have been learning how to create spirals by drawing from their finger tips, wrist, elbow, shoulder and body. We used a spiral to create a snail and colour to engage others in our Art.

 

In Maths we have been learning about Doubling. The children used lots of different strategies to practise their skills.

In our Science lessons we have been learning about our bodies. In groups the children drew around someone and then all labelled the body parts they knew. We found out that not everyone remembered their wrists and ankles.

In English we have been learning the Traditional Tale of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We learnt actions and made a story map to help us to retell the story. The children loved acting out the story with our stick puppets. We then innovated our characters and settings to create our own version of the story.

In our Computing lessons we have been learning about algorithms. We are now putting what we've learnt into practice by learning how to use Beebots. The children had 3 challenges. To make the Beebot move under a bridge, to make the beebot draw a circle with a pencil and to move the beebot as close to a wall as you could.

World Book Day 2025 - The children had a chance to 'Read our way'

During Science Week, our Science Ambassadors helped us to plant some peas. We're enjoying watching them grow!

In our Art lessons we have been learning how to sketch. The children focused on developing skills and having fun rather than a finished product whilst we sketched different insects.

Marwell Zoo 

Everyone loved watching the giraffe!

We watched the meerkats keeping an eye out for predators.

The red pandas were also a favourite. They looked very cosy in their trees.

We had our snack next to the white rhinos and zebra.

We were very lucky to see both Amur Tigers. The female was snoozing in the shade whilst the male in the next enclosure was on the prowl.

The male snow leopard was enjoying the sun when we first arrived and then we saw him climb up to his cave in the rocks. The female was sleeping in the next enclosure high up and nearly out of sight.
