This term, we have been learning about the Eatwell plate and what foods go in each food group. We have learned that it is really important to have foods from a variety of food groups in order to eat healthily. We taste tested combinations of ingredients to see what went well together and then designed a wrap that would be tasty and healthy.

We had great fun preparing ingredients for our wraps and learned how to chop foods up with a knife by making a bridge with our hands. Once we had made our wraps, we reviewed them against our success criteria to see just how tasty and healthy they were. We tried to include ingredients from at least three food groups in our wrap and we have found that there are new foods that we will try.

When reviewing the wraps, many of the children said that they were wonderful, tasty, fantastic, delicious and brilliant. Stefan said ‘I loved it so much’ and Teo wrote ‘I’ve never had a wrap that good!’ Well done to the Year 2 chefs who have learned a great skill that they will be able to do at home too.

In Year 3 this week, we participated in a science workshop centered around the exploration of various materials. Throughout the session, we rotated among four stations, each offering unique experiments and investigations.

At the initial station, our task involved predicting the hardness of different materials by testing them against a wood block.

Next, we conducted a chemical reaction aimed at generating carbon dioxide.

In another station  we explored chromatography.

In the final station we examined the density contrast between oil and water by creating  lava lamps.

This week, we’ve been fully immersed in science experiments aligned with our current learning focus: light and dark. Our journey began with exploring various materials and examining their reflective properties under different conditions. We also learned about how shadows are formed. Then, we created animal shadows with our hands. We concluded the week by planting sunflower seeds in preparation for our next science unit.

Ellis came into school and recited a beautiful poem that he had written himself. Here it is:

Springtime by Ellis

Springtime is nearly here and the sky has become clear.

The sunshine comes out and everyone can play about.

Baby animals are being born at the farm. We go to see them, a super charm!!

The flowers start to grow, some start from seed that we have to sow.

The sunshine helps them and the water does too.

We are happy when the skies are blue

Ellis’s amazing skills as a poet inspired us to write our own poem as a class. We discovered how writing a poem takes time as we brainstormed our imaginative ideas and had to agree on what phrases and ideas would go where in our poem.

Daffodils by Year Two

Daffodils are yellow, sometimes white and they use the sunshine to make them bright.

Beautiful daffodils are wonderful to see.

Sitting beside them makes you happy.

Standing straight like soldiers, all in a row.

Be careful not to step on them, or they will not grow!

Relive the magic!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mums.

We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite characters from beloved books. Throughout the day, we engaged in group reading activities and shared our favourite stories with one another.

On birthdays we encourage children to donate a book to our class library. As a token of our appreciation they get to wear a non- school uniform on their birthday.  Our class wish list can be found on Amazon. Year Three wish-listhttps://amzn.eu/bXpVAyq
