Class 1

Today we have been exploring sunflowers. We cut down the sunflowers that had grown over the summer in our garden and explored them. We hammers them, used tweezers to pinch seeds out of the flower head, made sunflower soup and potions and created sunflowers with paint and loose parts! 

We have been chopping fruit and mixing juice and water to create ice lollies! We need to freeze them and then we can enjoy them at snack time tomorrow. We have talked about and predicted the changes that might happen to the liquid and used super maths noticing along the way. 

We create our own festival maps for our own festivals! We had facepainting stations, roller coasters, pools, tombolas and more! 

We read Molly’s first festival and had our own festival! It was so much fun! We created friendship bracelets, floral wrist bands and lavender bags. We dances, relaxed, played with bubbles, painted our face, the mud kitchen and build using the construction resources. 

We have been using our super speaking, listening and communication skills in the travel agents. We have booked cruises, exotic holidays, flights and we will visit some super destinations! 

We explored building with ice. It was slippy and drippy. It melted very quickly in the hot sun. We turned the pool of water into a pool for a polar bear. Super creativity! 

We love to write in class one! Nursery are becoming super drawers and are starting to hear, say and write initial sounds. Reception are becoming much more confident at writing independent sentences using their sounds to spell. 

Today we read Shark in the Park!

We went on a rhyming hunt around school and found other animals hiding in unusual places! We have also been drawing and writing about where else a shark may hide. We have had a shark at Legoland, a shark in a bed and a shark in our packed lunch so far!

We have had lots of fun learning about the life cycle of a ladybird and identifying different types of ladybird! We have enjoyed using the ladybird identification sheets and learning facts about ladybirds. We have also painted our own ladybirds today.

Today class one learnt more about caring for teeth. We learnt about food that are good for your teeth, how to brush well and all about visiting the dentist. 

Today we have sorted animals and talked about if they live on land, in sea or both! We used great vocabulary like terrestrial, marine and amphibian! We sometimes agreed and disagreed with our friends sorting and changed things along the way. 

Today we met ferrets, a snake, a skink, giant snails and stick insects! We learnt more about them and we got to hold them if we wanted to.
