We are working on a character description of The Wild Things. In this lesson we worked collaboratively to describe their appearance and personality. We came up with some excellent adjectives such as aggressive, mischievous and rough. This week we will use these fantastic words to describe our very own Wild Thing.
This half term in Geography we have been looking at the seven continents and five oceans of the world.
This week we had a focus on Europe and its biggest country- France! To get a real feel for the culture we sampled some traditional French food- baguette, Brie, croissants, pain au chocolate and chocolate milk.
Say cheers…
This half term we are studying ‘The Lonely Beast’. In this writing lesson we made Beast masks and re-enacted the story using actions.
Definitely some budding actors in this class!!
Last Friday we created this master piece in celebration of Holi Festival, which is tradionally celebrated in India to welcome the spring.
We had a great time!
Here are a few photos from our fantastic trip to Wollaton Hall.
We took part in two excellent sessions- Plants, Seeds and Bees and Environmental Art.
The children also enjoyed spending lots of time out in the sunshine!
In our writing lessons we will be working on writing our own set of instructions so today we followed a recipe to see how they work. We found instructions like sprinkle, mix, scatter, spoon out and knead.
Here are some pictures of chefs hard at work.
This half term’s topic is based around the story of Claude in the City. Today we built Lego cities and re-enacted Claude’s first steps into the big city. We thought about what Claude would be thinking and feeling and performed this as a monologue.
Today we named plants and went outside to identify them. We spotted daffodils, roses, daisies and ivy.
Over the past three weeks we have been working on a space picture in our art lessons.
We started off by painting a rocket, we then collaged planets using coloured tisssue paper and splatted white paint for the stars. We finished it off with some gold and silver glitter. They looked fabulous!!
Here are a few examples… 
Our current piece of writing is a fact file all about owls. So what better way to learn about this nocturnal creature than to do a spot of role play!
Panda class learnt some facts about different species of owls before designing their own owl masks. They then took in turns to play the owl and answer questions from their curious classmates.
