Class 1

We looked again at our sweetpeas to check if they were growing shoots and leaves.
In only a few days we spotted some real changes, helped along by the warm weather! 

We had an amazing day out in Birmingham visiting Thinktank. Lots of hands-on and practical activities to try! The science garden was fantastic! 

We used Class 1 Bibles to give us inspiration for our competition entries.

Year 2 have been learning to tell the time to the nearest five minutes!

With Madame Stevens we found out about Easter traditions in France. We went on an Easter hunt looking for French vocabulary in the Spring sunshine!

In English Year 2 have been writing non-chronological reports about leopards and tigers. There were lots of features to include! Reception created captions about tigers using their amazing phonics skills for spelling! Well done Class 1!

In RE this week we looked at the symbolism of hot cross buns and why they are eaten at Easter. We could not resist a taste test too! Delicious! 

In Science this week we discussed what animals and humans need to survive. We created information posters about Giant Pandas. Reception thought about pets and how they need to be looked after.
