Wildlife Park Trip

Today, we had a fantastic trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster. We saw lots of different animals that we would see if we were able to visit Kenya, which is our contrasting locality in Geography this term. Everyone was beautifully behaved and enjoyed seeing the animals in real life.

Arts Week

We had a fantastic time exploring 3d mark making last week. We were inspired to create 3d sculptures using metal wire after we had looked at the work of artist Favour Jonathan.

Take a look -

DT- Pizza Making

We had a wonderful day making our pizzas. We applied our knowledge of using the claw grip and bridge hold to chop our vegetables so they could be added to our pizzas. We discussed how creating a vegetarian pitta bread pizza, was a healthier choice. 

The children loved taking them home to eat and share with their family. 

History- Queen's Jubilee

As part of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in June, we are going to finding about what life was like in the 1990s.

Science- Planting Our Sunflower Seeds

The children have planted their sunflower seeds ready to observe changes in science over the next few weeks. 

They discussed how important it is for plants to have water, sunlight and soil to grow. 

We will be finding out more information about plants over this half term.

After that we practised adding two 2 digit numbers by partitioning the numbers and then recombined them to find the answer

Autumn Artwork

As part of our Spooky Stories day last term, we did some observational drawings of pumpkins. We then used watercolour pencils to finish them.
