The children have had a fabulous afternoon watching Trolls Holiday, Robin Robin and then a bit of Shaun the Sheep. They all enjoyed some popcorn and a bit of well deserved down time. 

The children have been working extremely hard and have completed their BSL challenge this morning. As a class, we’ve collectively learnt 143 different signs!

This afternoon we have been busy learning about Remembrance Day and making a start on our artwork for church.

The Year 1’s have been learning how to use the rekenreks to help us with our addition sentences.

Mrs Forrester has been teaching the children some sign language this week! They have been working extremely hard on signing their names, numbers and even a song! 

From flying cars to time machines, Lego club were looking into the future with their builds from the year 3000 this lunchtime. 

The children had an interesting afternoon predicting and experimenting with different materials, exploring their properties. 

We’ve been learning about Traditional tales this week and have enjoyed reading Little Red Riding Hood. This afternoon we’ve been looking at ‘sequencing’ our story.

This morning the children made a fantastic start on their Clarice Cliff plates.  They put all of their colour mixing skills to use and began their designs.  

This afternoon the children discussed ways of making a fair test and set about testing which material was the bounciest! They rolled various balls of different materials down the ramps and measured the rebound to determine the winner! 

The children have been building on their knowledge of primary and secondary colours, creating hues of green and experimenting with shades by adding white to their hues. There was some really thoughtful colour placement and shade variation in their work.

Some fantastic builds in Lego club this week. Our build challenge was ‘vehicles’  and we had some wonderfully imaginative creations!
