Zootastic!

We had an amazing day last week at the zoo. We learnt so much and had so much fun.

We saw so many animals and found out lots of different stories about the different animals.

Sportstastic!

Today we wore sports clothes to help raise money for Sports Relief.

We had a whole sports morning trying out lots of different activities.

We warmed our bodies up so that we were ready to be active.

Then we went outside and jogged around the school grounds. We did two very long laps!

Then we tried lots of different activities like sack racing, throwing and catching, hula hooping, parachute games and ribbon dancing.

Then Mr Barratt came and taught us some exercises, that really made us hot and puffed out!

What a fun but tiring morning we have had! We will all sleep well tonight!

Celebration Table

Mrs Barratt has a new special table on Fridays. It was Foundation's turn for a special treat this week. All of the Foundation grown ups got to choose a person that had worked hard or done something special.  They got to have their lunch on a special table in the middle of the hall and lucky Mrs Cook got to join them too!

We had flowers, special plates and even posh glasses and juice.

Creative collaboration!

Today we decided that we needed a rocket to travel between the ice planet and the fire planet.

We worked together to design a rocket. We designed one but then we decided that we would not all fit in if the rocket was pointing up.  We redesigned the rocket so that there was more space for us all.

We worked really well together sharing ideas and drawing a plan.  We labelled the plan so that we all knew exactly what we wanted the rocket to look like.

Plan 1

Plan 2

Our final design

When we had finished our plan we gathered a selection of materials and objects and made our rocket.

We started with this...

We found some seats

We thought this would make a great engine

We added the rocket booster for the fire

A roof and a pointy bit!!

We had so much fun using our imagination and working together. We had to listen to each others ideas. By working together we made a fantastic rocket and then we had a great time blasting off on adventures in it!

Mud Kitchen

We have had a great afternoon exploring our new mud kitchen. We have measured and poured, mixed and splashed and scooped and squelched! What a great way to spend an afternoon.

In fact it was so popular we had to extend it!
