SUMMER 1 ~ CREEPY CRAWLIES
We have been exploring our local environment for mini-beasts.
We also enjoyed making some delicious caterpillar fruit kebabs when we discussed what makes for a healthy meal.
We were also given the task of looking after 5 very hungry caterpillars. Each day we were excited to see them grow. Then they went to sleep in a chrysalis for about 2 weeks and finally they emerged as beautiful butterflies. It was then time to wave goodbye to the butterflies.
SPRING 2 ~ DINOSAUR ROAR
We have enjoyed our adventures to the land of dinosaurs. Here are some of the things we have been enjoying learning. We started the term off with a DT Week where we made dinosaurs in groups. We learnt how to join and attach boxes so that they did not fall apart as well as learning the skills of working in a small group, taking turns to share our ideas.
Then a strange parcel arrived one day.... we had been asked by a museum to look after some real fossils!!
We learnt about the changes you would expect to see in the spring time and went on a super walk down the lane. We spotted blossom, daffodils and a squirrel up a tree! We finished up by visiting the sheep and the lambs in the field behind our school. It was perfect weather for a spring walk too!
SPRING 1 ~ WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT
We have had a very busy start back to the new year. Here are some of the things we have been learning.
We have been learning about how bears hibernate and stay warm. We went outside and worked with small groups of children to design and build a den for an animal.

We learnt all about the Chinese New Year and how to write numbers 1-10 in Chinese! We made some fans which required lots of concentration!
At the end of term we went over to Providence Chapel to make some yummy bear biscuits!

We have had a great start to the term with a visit from the firefighters and then we celebrated a special little dog's birthday!
