This week in LMTW we have been learning how circuits work. The children learned about how the national beacons are lit across the country to mark important events for the Monarchy and the country. The children have recreated the lighting of the beacons by making a large circuit system that was lit using batteries, switches and bulbs.
We had a fantastic time with our new parachute in P.E…..
Don’t worry, nobody got eaten in the shark game!
Mornings really are the best part of the day, as this morning’s lovely sunrise over Hebburn and South Tyneside proves. What a lovely way to start the week.
7 Red investigated, designed and made a ‘bag for a fairy’.
It had to be small, light, waterproof, with a strong handle …. and look amazing!
Check out the Cottingley Fairy photographs …. real or fake?
In 1 Blue we made biscuits for Little Red Riding Hood to take to Granny! The children used the scales to measure and weigh out the ingredients and mixed them together before cutting them into shapes. We then explored using the scales with different objects and liquids.
We had a visit from the school nurses today. We talked about how it was so important to wash our hands and brush our teeth. We passed round a ball with glitter on to show how easy it is for germs to spread. We sang a song which helped to us to remember how to thoroughly wash our hands.
Next it was time to learn how to brush our teeth properly, count to 6 on every tooth and brush them twice a day. We are now experts 😀 🦷 🧼👏🏻
Throughout our theme ‘Happily Ever After’ we have been looking at fairytales. This week we have been reading and completing work around the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We decided that cookies are a great treat and that we would like to make them (to make sure they were good enough for Granny obviously). We looked at a recipe and thought about what ingredients we would need. We then used the correct equipment to weigh out the ingredients and mix the batter. Our Teacher put them in the oven and took them out when it was time then we took them home to eat, before The Big Bad Wolf could smell them!
This afternoon Reception went for an Autumn walk in our garden. We looked for signs of Autumn, talked about the different leaves, berries and fruits we saw. We also talked about which animals hibernate as we could not find any frogs. After that we went for a run around on the grass.
7 Blue have been practicing our Times Tables by sewing patterns.
