Science-materials hunt!
The children enjoyed scouring the playground in search of objects made from various materials on their list. They used a tally chart to record their findings and compared their results with each other once back in class. We have some very good scientists in the making!
Science - Caterpillar Life Cycles
Class 1 were learning all about lifestyle cycles today in our Science lesson. The children then made their own lifecycle of a caterpillar. We are all very excited to watch our class caterpillars go through their life-cycle. The children made predictions of what would happen next.
Art-exploring brush strokes
Class 2 wowed again today with their incredible creativity! They explored thick and thin, big and small, with their brushes this afternoon, to fantastic effect!

We have caterpillars!
Class 1 have received their very own caterpillars this week. They arrived in a special box sent by some important scientists, they have asked us to look after them and observe them as they grow. We have been asked to keep a Caterpillar diary to keep track of the changes that happen. Today we each…
