'Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see...'
I see all of Duckling's amazing animal masks looking at me!
We had so much fun creating our animal masks this week. First we decided what animal we wanted for our mask and then we made a careful plan. Once we had our plan we painted our mask and started decorating all of its features! Have a look at all of our hard work!
We have had a busy few days learning all about how are food gets to our plate! We found out about 3 different types of farms and matched our learning with our Harvest celebrations. We have learnt how to do a bridge cut whilst cutting some different vegetables to try.
Then we heard the story of 'Rosie Plants a Radish' and decided that we would plant some of our own seeds to see if we can grow our own vegetables!
What a busy few days we have had!
We have had a great time in Spain for our first Faraway Friday trip! We boarded our class aeroplane and had the safety talk before take off. On landing we got a Spain flag sticker in our passports and learnt all about life in spain!
What an amazing first Forest School Day we have had! We have found out how to keep ourselves safe, what to do if we get lost and even been around the site putting out Hazard Flags whenever we found something that might be dangerous!
Then we were ready for our learning time... we have been bug hunting, digging and sieving, building harvesting machines, making dens and lots lots more. Come and see what we have been up to...
We have been learning all about the artist Pablo Picasso this week. We practised our scissor skills to cut up photographs of our faces to then stick down and create our own piece of art in the style of Picasso. We had lots of fun and tomorrow we are of on our first 'Far Away Friday' to visit Spain, the place that Pablo was born.
We have been learning all about Harvest, have a look at some of the activities we have been doing.
This week, we have loved diving into our Under the Sea topic! Through stories, play and hands on activities, we have been exploring the amazing world beneath the waves. We have enjoyed learning about different sea creatures, creating 'under the sea' artwork and using shells and sea animals. The children have also explored floating and sinking through water play and had lots of fun searching for sea creatures in our outdoor area.
Come and see some of the amazing activities we have been doing...
