In our topic learning we have eased the Christmas word gently into our learning. This week the children began an RE topic - Why do Christians give gifts at Christmas? They shared their experiences of giving and receiving presents, then went on to look at why Christians give gifts at Christmas. We read the Nativity story, then the children sequenced the events.

We made coconut mice to follow on from reading the story Town Mouse and Country Mouse. Miss Williamson was so impressed with our products that she asked us to write some instructions so she can make them with her two nieces. We are now in the process of writing instructions for the girls in our English learning. In our topic learning we looked at the features of an address and found them on our own addresses. We wrote letters to a friend in the class and plan to post the letter, so watch the post! We also looked at a map of the Sunderland area and found out where we all live.
On Halloween, we all came into school looking amazing in our costumes and ready to have a fun science day. First, we read the story Room on the Broom and listened for rhyming words. The witch let us know that she was worried about a hole in her cloak and as it was forecast for rain on Halloween evening, she thought she would need a new one. She asked us to test different material to find out which were waterproof and would therefore make a waterproof cloak to keep her dry. It was exciting to test the materials and find out the results.We continued our science day with some fun. We added ingredients to our bowl, stirred and watched as 'slime' emerged......most of us had so much fun!! |
