This Half term we have been growing various types of plants.
Here are some of the things we have been growing.
sunflowers strawberries cress
Tomato sweet peas
We read Oliver’s Vegetables and Oliver’s fruit salad. We enjoyed making and tasting Vegetable soup Fruit salad.
Here is a graph of our favourite fruits.
The children have been very interested in snails in the garden. We have learnt lots of fascinating facts.
We have been learning all about performance poetry and writing our own poems.
Today, poet Paul Cookson visited the school. He performed some fantastic poems with us and we began writing our own poem about the Stone Age with him. We then finished writing it as a whole class after.
Please read our fantastic poem! We are very proud of our amazing work.
For the past 2 weeks nursery have been superheroes. We made our own costumes, capes and masks and we learnt what we need to be a good superhero.
we read the story super potato and made our own.
The Evil peas took over classroom and stole our superhero toys.
We had to defeat them by using our extra strong muscles and completing the assault course mission.
The mission was accomplished and we saved our toys.
Hooray !
We tasted peas and learnt that they are good for us and make us big and strong.
Many of us chose to come dressed as characters from the books we’ve been reading in class.
We have been making our own maths games in groups based on a topic we have been learning, then sharing with others.
We had a great day for World Book Day today; the children all had amazing costumes! We began the day with some reading, and then played a game similar to pictionary that made us think about the plots in different books. We also thought about what makes a good book cover and used it to design our own.
Our writing homework for this week is to write a blurb for our favourite book. Why not have a look at a few different blurbs to get some ideas?
We were joined in Nursery today by some book characters for book day. We had little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks , Cinderella , Pirates , Stickman and Rapunzel to name a few.
You can read anywhere!
We had an excellent time at the Tollhouse today and got to go in the areas the public don’t normally see. We played the part of inspectors there to visit the Victorian gaol and see how the prisoners were treated; it was not somewhere we would want to stay.
Wow! All the children did themselves proud today at St. George’s Theatre. They performed amazingly well, and even had some members of the audience in tears! If you saw it, I am sure you will agree with me that we definitely have some budding actors in year 5…
There is display in school with several photos from the event if you were unable to attend, or just want to be reminded of the children’s amazing achievement.
We had a Flipping time!
