The last week's images

We loved creating our bonfire night pictures! We were very proud of them!

This week we have been thinking about litter/pollution in our ponds, rivers and streams! Mrs Abel showed us some pictures on the plasma of things that get put into our water and cause 'pollution'. We decided we would use our 'looking eyes' to detect any rubbish in our pond area and school yards etc. We've all been out on litter walks, picking up anything that spoils our environment. We found bottles, sweet packets and crisp packets! We made sure they got put in the bin where they belong and then we designed posters in our books telling people to put their rubbish in their bin!

 In our PE session we thought about all the fireworks we had seen and what sounds they made. We chose movements and sounds for each one. We were rockets, catherine wheels, bangers and fountains! Mrs Abel put all the fireworks into a simple sequence and we performed it. Afterwards we remembered how important it is to 'cool down' after all that moving about!

CHILDREN IN NEED

 What a fun day we had on Friday! We had a whole school assembly where our school council told us all about where our money would be going and we saw some of the teachers accept funny challenges like hula hooping for a minute! Then we got to make bandanas for the teddies we brought in from home.

 

We did lots of lovely colourings and sticking and cutting! 

We played 'Pudsey' games on the plasma!

We made crispy cornflake crunchy cakes!

And delicious pudsey cookies too!! 

WHAT A FUN DAY! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED MONEY! 

Our investigation

We carried out an investigation of how plants use water. We put some white carnations into a vase full of water and then added some red food dye to the water. We put the vase into the quiet room overnight and then we all went into the hall and Mrs Carter & Mrs Abel brought the vase into the hall to show us what had happened! We discovered that the white flowers had turned pink.

Here are some of the children showing everyone the pink flowers!! When we were asked what we thought had happened we discovered that plants suck the water up through their stems and because the water was red when it got to the flowers it turned them pink/red!

Harvest soup & bread & other images too!

Here we are, as promised, eating our lovely harvest soup and bread!

More Pitter Patter Puddle Play

Making rainbows out of playdough!

Bathing the doll, blowing bubbles and looking at the colours, planting cress and finding out all about how plants need water! Hope you ate the cress when you took it home!

We've been learning about 'a raindrop's journey'. We know that water droplets rise from the sea when the sun shines on it, they fill up into clouds and when the clouds are full they break and it rains and fills up the rivers and they flow back into the sea!

This is Mrs Carter and Mrs abel's classes together creating a class poem called 'Splish, splash, splosh'. We thought about all the things we have done and experienced during the first half term and put them into a poem!
