James has been very busy during lockdown and here are some of the things that he has been doing.

He has watched the Jack in the Beanstalk story & been planting his own magic beans! Also some carrots! He is watching what happens as they grow & hopefully James and his Mummy and Daddy might be able to eat the rewards!

He’s been using water play to recreate his favourite film Free Willy, printing dinosaur/ dragon footprints & experimenting with different tracks & mark making in paint.

He has also been visiting the lovely local horses & also practicing tricky words with fish & whales matching activity cards!

Well done James!

 

Last week, Fae had a go at Mrs. Hill’s challenge to make food chains and came up with:

corn – hen – fox – eagle

flower – hare – caribou – lion – alligator

soil – worm – bluetit – barn owl

Thank you for the challenges Mrs. Hill !

 

Martha has been doing some baking and she wanted to show everyone what she had done.

They look lovely Martha!

James from Reception has been watching the beans grow in the garden and is comparing with how they grow in a jar.  What a great Science experiment – well done James!

 

Preston had a very busy week last week.

He went outside looking for different insects, and went on some lovely walks. He had a fire one of the evening and toasted some marshmallows!

Whilst the sun was shining, he planted some seeds so that he can watch them grow whilst he is learning about Jack and the beanstalk with his Mummy and Daddy.  They have already grown lots and will be re planted into bigger pots soon.

Preston then spent some time learning all about the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, he then had a go at making 3 different sized chairs for each of the bears with his dad.

Well done Preston – you have been very busy!

Molly has written a lovely poem that she would like to share with everyone.

Well done Molly!

Mrs Branch has sent a message and set you another challenge!

 

Hello Reception.

I’ve finally managed to get into the garden after all that rain! This week’s challenge is to practice finding halves of numbers. Halving means that we share something into two equal parts. I’ve set two levels of challenge – are you clever enough to complete both?  I’ve included a video of the ‘one for me, one for you’ technique that I would like you to use to find the answers. You can use any objects that you find around the house. I used sticks, plant pots and tins when I did it. I also tried dog treats, but Bonnie the dog kept eating them!

Good Afternoon Year 2!

Miss Hill has a new challenge for you this week.

Hello Year 2!  Your next challenge leads on from last week’s work about food chains.

A habitat is a place where something lives.

There are many different types of habitat.

Use the BBC bitesize website to find out about different habitats such as –

 

Rainforest

Coastal

Desert

Urban

Woodland

Polar ……

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zx882hv/articles/zxdsvcw

 

Then draw a picture of your favourite habitat and include all of the information that you have found out.

As always, I would love to see some pictures of your work.

 

Keep smiling and stay safe

 

Mrs Hill xx
