Hollies have done lots of exciting things this week. On Monday we had an ice cream party with our friends from Acorns. We enjoyed picking our cones, sauce and toppings. They were delicious! On Thursday we had a McDonalds which was yummy, we also had a movie morning with popcorn and treats. To end the week we have had a picnic party!
Today Hollies went around the local area looking for human and physical features. We checked them off our list and talked about why they were human or physical. We then went to the park to have a little play before making our way back to school.

This week we have spent lots of time outdoors and created a classroom outside and we did most of our science and history work out there. In science we built houses and then tested to see if they would hold up in the wind and rain. The paper straw house did not survive.
Recently we have been very interested in London so to move on we had a French afternoon and looked at Paris. We looked at all of the landmarks, found it on the map and even tried some French food.
This week in DT Hollies and Acorns made their own supermarket sandwiches. They practiced all of the skills they have learnt this year and tasted their own creations.
This week Hollies have been busy bees completing lots of English and Maths jobs. They have been looking at which animals we keep as pets and which animals live in the wild. They also made pizzas using wraps and have had fun in the sun.

We have had another busy week in Hollies. We have all completed lots of Maths and English jobs. In topic we have looked at special/important people in school and talked about their jobs. We visited Helen nurture room to ask her about her job. In Science we could identify mammals and birds, we know we are mammals because we have hair, a backbone and live on land. In computing we have been making our own e-book with our Acorn friends.
