We went exploring the woodland area and found out how the greenhouse is being made. We were all very surprised to find out that plastic bottles were being used to make the walls of the greenhouse.

In our RE lessons we have been learning about thanking God for nature. We decided to thank God for nature by collecting some leaves, sticks, conkers and acorns from the woodland area and using them to make pictures. Year 1 did a fantastic job and made some lovely pictures!

The three little pigs asked Year 1 to investigate which materials would be the best to make their homes out of. Year 1 tested wood, paper and plastic. We found out that the plastic would make the best material for a house because it was strong and waterproof.

We were very lucky to have question and answer session with Mrs Cubbin. We asked Mrs Cubbin lots of questions to find out what Woodfield school used to be like. It was lots of fun and we found out lots of interesting information.

The Hexagons went shape hunting. They found lots of 2D and 3D shapes. Can you name any of the shapes they found?

We had lots of fun making short animations on 2animate! It was tricky at first but we kept practising!

Today we had 3 very brave children take part in our Spelling Bee final. They all did such a brilliant job! Well done!

Noa “It was good fun!”

Theo “Everyone clapped for me”

Molly ” I was a bit nervous!”

We have enjoyed our STEAM week! In Reception class we made space houses, tin foil bridges, moon sand footprints, balloon rockets and many other things!

Our star bloggers this week are Emily and Anais.

Emily B- ” I liked the space houses, we made them out of sweets”

Anais- “I liked racing the balloon rockets they went fast”.

Last week we discovered that our broad bean plants (planted in November) have grown!

We have been learning about what makes plants grow and we estimated how tall they would grow.

This week we are reading a story all about a magic bean stalk…

Jack and the Beanstalk.

This week in maths we are learning about money.

Here we are playing matching games with coins!
