For Autism Acceptance week each year group was given a colour and the task of decorating a butterfly using a range of techniques. During integration each child from Rowans and Acorns decorated their butterfly red. The butterflies are going to be used to create a whole school rainbow display to celebrate that everyone is unique.
Willows had a cracking afternoon creating some wonderful designs for our Smelly Egg Competition.
We all think they are egg-cellent!!!!
In RE we have been learning all about Holy week. We wrote sentences about the days leading up to Easter Sunday and looked at how Christians celebrate Easter.
As part of Autism Acceptance Week and the theme of colour, we went over to Willows to design yellow butterflies to be part of a whole school display. We then wrote acrostic poems using positive adjectives to describe people.
To end the Rocks, Relics and Rumbles topic we looked as tsunamis and how they are caused.
For our smelly egg competition we designed some dinosaurs and eggs and created a display with our volcanoes.
We had our final Kidsafe session and were all awarded certificates.
We had great fun this week reading more Supertato books this week so decided to create our Easter eggs for the competition based on the characters from the stories. Everyone chose their own character using symbols and created their egg- aren’t they great!
For our Easter cards we practised printing with sponges to create different effects.
In phonics we had to put together the broken Easter eggs by reading the word and matching it to the picture- we did an excellent job!
To end our money topic in maths this week we had a trip to the shop to buy a treat. All children were super stars! They could identify some coins and were able to wait in the queue to be served and hand the money over to the shop keeper. We enjoyed our treat back at school as a social snack together.
Happy Easter!
In Chestnuts, we have designed and made spring themed cross-stitch bookmarks. This is part of our Design Technology work.
Cross stitching isn’t as easy as it looks!
We have worked hard to make our bookmarks look amazing! Don’t you agree?
The boys in Birches created their own flowers out of paper plates to make a class bouquet.
To celebrate Easter, the children in construction club made some Easter themed lego builds.
There’s eggs, baskets and even an Easter bunny!
As part of their RE topic this half term, Willows have been thinking about the importance of Palm Sunday.
They have been asking and answering questions such as:
Why do Christians call Jesus a king?
Why is Palm Sunday an important day?
How do Christians celebrate Palm Sunday?
For their final lesson they made some lovely Palm Crosses.
We have been exploring ways to join materials and make our structures sturdy and strong. We planned and made some models using recyclable materials, and tested them to make sure they didn’t break or fall over.
It was quite a challenge but we didn’t give up! We worked together to help each other out, shared resources and then displayed our creations for others to see.
