​​ ​​​ZooLab 

Yesterday ZooLab visited us. Barry brought with him some fantastic mini-beasts, reptiles and an amphibian. We had a brilliant time and learnt so much about all the creatures we saw. We got to touch most of them and even some very brave children had a hold too!

Fraction work

This week we have been finding fractions of shapes and amounts. We have looked at halves, quarters, three quarters and thirds. Some of the children took on the role as teacher. They did a great job explaining to the other children in class how they found halves and quarters of different shapes and how they found different fractions of an amount. Well done Wrens!

Caterpillar to butterfly

Look at our caterpillars! They have eaten all their food and now they have crawled to the top of the pot. They have formed a chrysalis around themselves and now we have put them in the butterfly hatching net. Hopefully in a week or so they will emerge from the chrysalis as painted lady butterflies. 

Continuous provision-

Making a space obstacle course and using, moulds, scoops and rakes to make different landscapes. 

Alien Landing?

What a Friday! Something very mysterious happened this morning. Mrs Smith went to the shed and spotted some strange things lying around on the ground and in the trees. The children concluded that maybe aliens had crash landed! The children have now decided to set traps and make hide outs to try and spot any aliens that may have been left behind. We are going to gather in the evidence and test it next week for any traces of another life form. We will keep you posted with any findings...

Friday Afternoon

What a busy afternoon the Wrens had. We painted our crocodile, cleaned out the home of our pet snail and discovered some eggs, weighed, made dens, sorted and organised, made 3-D shapes out of plasticine and used the laptops to write about our favourite zoo animals. Phew! 

Sponsored Walk

Well done to the Wrens. You made it! We got to the top of the hill and down again. A great effort. 

No Pens Wednesday 

On Wednesday we focused on communication without pens or pencils. We started the day by playing team games  that focused on talking to each other. We then took part in activities in our classrooms. In Wrens we had to describe shapes and objects. We had a go at making 3-D shapes using  lollipop sticks and plasticine and clixi. In English we had to describe objects to our group using adjectives. What fun we had!
