This term in Year 4 Science we have been learning about Living Things and Their Habitats. As part of this topic, the children made their own dioramas and discussed the threats to the animals living in that particular habitat. Aren’t they fantastic!
A big well done to Year 3, who put on a fantastic assembly telling us all about Chinese New Year.
To continue our Chinese New Year celebrations, this week we have made Chinese stir-fry. The children explored all of the ingredients, chopped them independently, helped to cook the ingredients using a wok and then finally were able to taste their delicious cooking!
This week in EYFS we started to look at the tradition of Chinese New Year. We were so impressed with the Parent Partnership homework the children completed at home and their enthusiasm and curiosity has continued at school.
We have opened up our Chinese restaurant, looked at the story of behind Chinese New Year, explored Chinese objects, created Chinese symbols and made our own lanterns while practising using scissors.
We can’t wait to find out more!
In Nursery we have been looking at Chinese dragons and using mathematical vocabulary to describe them. We talked about their round heads, long bodies and spiky teeth.
We even made our own arrangements using different loose parts. Aren’t they fantastic?
Congratulations to all of this week’s winners.

In year 3 we have been learning all about Ancient Egypt. One of our favourite lessons was mummifying tomatoes! The tomatoes were scooped out, covered in salt, wrapped in bandages and then placed in their very own tombs!
