Burns Night Activities in Pines

26th January 2023L Calder

This week in Pines we have been learning about Burns Night, we enjoyed listening to some bagpipes and playing a game of Burns Night Bingo. We also designed our own tartan and made a tartan kilt using our weaving skills to develop our fine motor. In cookery we made delicious Scottish shortbread and were great at taking turns to weigh, mix and roll!

In science we have continued to learn about seasonal changes and created some autumn trees using finger painting to create the red, yellow and orange leaves. In DT this week we have been using mobilo to create vechiles, aren’t they great!

The children in Maples have had a fantastic first week back. In Phonics they have been learning new sounds including ‘j’, ‘oa’ and alternative pronunciations for ‘a’. In Maths the children have completed some repeating patterns and counting. In Science, we have begun our work on Materials and as a group matched pictures of materials to their names. In Geography, we looked at what a globe is and what it represents and have enjoyed practicing our kicking skills in PE.

Take a look at some of the fun we have had!

First Week Back in Rowans 16/1/23

13th January 2023A Barnes

This week in Rowan’s class we started our new topic of Long Ago. This week we have been focusing on the story of the Tiger Who Came to Tea. In phonics we learnt a new sound +k, practiced writing the sound and practiced spelling and writing words with our new sound.

In history we explored the topic of Long Ago and watched a video learning about things that have happened in the past. We then looked at photos of what we had completed the previous day.

In science we have started learning about our bodies and we were able to label parts of the body on a diagram. We also explored the changes in the natural world including the seasons. We listened to the story of One Year with Kipper and then matched pictures to the correct season.

First Week Back in Pines

In art we have been looking at and matching weather motifs as we prepare to create our own in the coming weeks.

Rocks!

12th January 2023A Tod

Our science topic this half term is Rocks.

In their first lesson this week, the children got hands on with some different rock samples.

They were able to study the rocks closely to examine their texture and then matched each rock sample to the correct name.

Science in Oaks this Week!

22nd December 2022S Graham

As part of our Science topic: Light, Oaks have been carrying out a number of fun experiments and activities.

We created our own shadow puppet and theatres to demonstrate how light casts a shadow.

We created our own periscopes out of cereal boxes to demonstrate how light bounces off multiple surfaces so we can see it.

We looked at how white light is made of different colours and how light enables us to see these colours. We created messages in one colour, hid it using multiple other colours and once we used a red filter we could see the original message.

Check out our incredible photos!
