Autumn Term 2022We have had a very exciting half term and learnt lots of new skills.
|
Animals Our first topic was ‘Animals’. We looked at the similarities and differences between a wide range of animals and learnt about the characteristics of different groups. In particular we really enjoyed making our own non fiction books. |
Zoolab We were very excited when Zoo Lab visited bringing lots of animals for us to see. This included a frog, a snake and a giant hissing cockroach! |
Toys and Materials Our next topic was all about toys and the different materials they are made from. |
Making a Waterproof CoatAs part of our topic on materials we were given the challenge of making a coat to keep a teddy dry. First we had to test different materials and then decide which would be best for the coat. Then we worked together like the Together Twins and made, tested and evaluated the coat |
The Three Little PigsThe children really enjoyed watching the adults act out the story of The Three Little Pigs. Then it was their turn! They enjoyed taking turns being all the characters, especially huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf! We all created our own wolves and wrote about them. |
Journey to the Moon We were all very excited to learn about the space explorer Neil Armstrong. We wrote questions for him and found out lots of information. We also tried to move like an astronaut, which was very tricky. |
Finally we had a space party! We played lots of games such as cotton wool space floaters and ate some moon rocks, space buggies and flying saucers!! |
Christmas
For Christmas we learnt how to make cards and calendars using a variety of moving mechanisms.
We used split pins, levers and pop ups. It was great fun!
We also had fun at our Christmas party!
A big thank you to all the parents who came to Santa's workshops
