As part of our ‘ Mission Control’ theme we have been looking at the movement of the Earth and how this can affect where the sun is positioned in the sky. We have also investigated how the time of day can change the length of our shadows.
In Learning Means the World we have been looking at weight and measurement in our DT/Maths aspect of the curriculum, so we decided to make cookies like Little Red Riding hood did to take to her grandma. We looked at all the ingredients needed, followed a recipe and weighed and measured the correct amounts to make the cookies before mixing, kneading and cooking. We finally ate them and the general consensus was that they were delicious.
Today in 1 Blue, we have been looking at fairytales as a part of our Learning Means The World Theme. We read the story of Little Red Riding Hood and we decided to get our aprons ready in order to bake Grandma’s cookies like in the story. We had a go at weighing out the ingredients, mixing them together and then we cut out our own cookies. We can’t wait to taste them!

Today in 1 Red we have been scientists in LMTW focusing on life cycles of various things. We mainly focused on the life cycle of the frog today and discussed the changes frogs goo t through. We used story stones, jigsaws and pictures to order the life cycle and described what happens at each stage.
Today in 1 Red we had our first music lesson. We looked at various musical instruments and played each one to see what sound they each made. Today’s lesson was focused on pitch and tone where the children were given an instruction and they had to follow them using the instrument. We then sang some familiar songs and played the instruments. Great fun was had by all.
