Woodland WOW day Week

We have had a fantastic week starting our Enchanted Woodland topic. On Monday we made title pages for our topic books and learnt to measure using balance scales in maths. The children then used the cookery room to make fairy cupcakes by using two eggs and measured out ingredients by balancing the flour, sugar and butter with the eggs.

On Tuesday it was our Enchanted Woodland WOW day which was a huge success. The children had so much fun and thank you all for providing some excellent costumes. Activities included wand making, magic potions, lolly stick fairies, fairy doors, dream catchers, stick crowns and the children decorated their cupcakes. Thank you also to the parents who came to help, we really appreciated the extra adults to allow so many activities.

In Science we have been learning about plants and trees. The children have been on a tree hunt outside and used a spotter sheet to identify trees using their leaves. We also learnt how to classify deciduous and evergreen trees. The children enjoyed watching some videos of Andy Goldsworthy making some art using leaves.

We have given out a spellings book to all of the children with 5 spellings to learn. These will go home each week for the children to practise and we will do a short spelling test on a Friday. Please make sure they keep their spelling books in their book bags so that they have them at school to practise and for us to stick the new spellings in each Friday. Please see the letter inside the cover with all the information.

Reminder- Please can the children bring in a shoe box next week which we will be using for a DT project.
