Y2 have been tasked with designing and making a stable chair for baby bear. In their first lesson, the children investigated what makes a structure stable. They made a sphere, cube, pyramid and cylinder and experimented to see how high they had to lift the board before the shape rolled off. By the end of the lesson, the children knew that stable structures are:
– low in height
– have a flat base
– are wide
Great work Year 2!
EYFS staff were surprised yesterday when they discovered there was a hotel in the classroom!
Ezra, Lucas and Rory chose to spend their planning time working as a team to build their own hotel. They were incredibly focused and paid close attention to detail by making bedrooms, a swimming pool, park, sun loungers and even a dinner hall (restaurant).
Mrs Marshall was very impressed!
EYFS were busy before half term making some Modroc ghosts! It was so great to watch the children exploring an unfamiliar medium.
This afternoon Year 3 had a great time weaving!
Well done Year 3!
Following on from our terrific team work last week to make a scarecrow, EYFS joined forces again to make so tasty Harvest Soup. They children took turns to chop up all the vegetables, shared resources and we cooked it together in class. Once the soup was blended, we all had a taste and gave it a thumbs up or down. It was very popular 😃
This week, EYFS shared the story of “The Little Red Hen” who made some bread all by herself. We started to wonder what her bread looked, smelled and tasted like so we bought a range of different types of breads to try. The children sampled panini, wraps, pittas, baguettes, tiger bread, bagels and muffins. After tasting the breads, the children gave the bread a thumbs up or thumbs down.
The staff were very impressed with the vocabulary the children used to describe the breads and were so proud that they were willing to try new foods!
