Amazing Animal Patterns in 2 Red

5th June 2024L Phillips

2 Red showed just how creative they were when replicating animal patterns before creating and designing a animal print of their own.

They used a range of mixed media to try out different patterns and textures and also used some more unusual art tools. They created snake skin with paint, sponges and netting, elephant skin with paint and shaving foam, leopard spots with bubble wrap and paint and a whole range of other textures with chalk pastels, oil pastels, pens and pencils.

The end product of their own design carved into a foam board then printed onto paper was very impressive.

Nursery’s healthy sandwiches!

24th May 2024Hayley Tampin

As part of our work around the book ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ this week, the nursery children had lots of fun making some healthy ham salad sandwiches.

We talked about why we need to wash our hands before preparing food and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet.

The children used their fine motor skills to spread the butter, chop the cucumber and tomato (with help from a grown up) and cut their sandwiches. They did a great job and we had some very happy faces when they sat down to eat them too!

Well done, Nursery!

3 Blue turn into business men and women!

23rd May 2024Ashley Clark

Today in LMTW we have been learning about data inputting and why it is important in a business. We first started off with the question, ‘What is the most popular colour in 3 Blue?’ then we went and collected the data from the 28 children (and two teachers) in our class through a tally chart… which connects our learning to maths! We then inputted our data onto a spreadsheet and also created a bar chart to show us the results. From our results, we concluded that blue was the most popular colour in our class!

 

 

 

 

 

1 Red are engineers of the future!

21st May 2024L Chisholm

We have been learning about the importance of solar power and how we can use it to help with our daily lives.  We decided to make a solar oven and cook biscuits.  We followed the instructions very carefully and worked well as part of a team.  We put our ovens in the sun and waited for our chocolate topping to melt.  The chocolate had started to melt and we discussed that if it had been in the sun all day it would have worked even better.  They tasted delicious!

A Baptism in 1 Red

21st May 2024L Chisholm

During RE day we have been looking at the Christian celebration surrounding a childs birth.  We learned about what special items are used during a baptism, who attends and their role and where they go to hold a baptism.  We then took turns in baptising our own baby and said the words ‘In the name of the Father, Son, and the holy spirit’ as we used the blessed water.  We found out that that Christians use water as a symbol of new rebirth as it represents washing away any sins.

The light (and dark) are strong with 1 Red.

21st May 2024L Chisholm

In our Learning Means the World theme of ‘Light Up The World’ we have been looking at what objects and materials give us light.  We looked at a selection of pictures then worked together to decide if they give us a natural light or a man made light. We the looked at using shadows and shading in our art lesson and created some lovely pictures using these light and dark effects.
