Connor and Harry W. Build themselves a house to sleep in. They challenged Mrs Phillips to crawl in....... She was too long and they couldn't shut the door.
Harry enjoying the house.
Connor shuts the door once Harry is in.
Measuring models
We used a metre stick To see which model was the longest.
Twe recorded our findings on a white board. Rufus had the widest model.
Willow have some potential netball stars...
Paper Plane Races
The children are trying out some different designs and techniques to make their planes fly as far as possible.
Throwing technique is important too...
The First Butterflies
Willow, Oak and Chestnut classes each have a butterfly garden in our classrooms. This is becoming a lovely summer tradition and fits really well with our theme of survival. We received the baby caterpillars just over a fortnight ago and have been tracking their growth. The first two have come out of their chrysalides within the last 24 hours and both are in Chestnut!
Writing Numbers
We are practising our numbers in chalk and water. I wonder what else we could use ...?
Amazing Building
It's Show Time!
Willow class put on a show. Our audience even have snacks and ice cream to eat.
Willow Build A Den
The crate den.
We worked together to build our inside den, we used chairs to make a home, we used pegs to keep the sheet up.
More sporting success for Neston!
Sporting Success for Neston!
Engineering and Team Work
Rufus was a resilient learner, putting the bamboo chutes together and testing until the ball would roll all the way to the end.
Some amazing teamwork went on in order to create this long chute.
Nice Den for Sunny Days
I wonder how it would be in the rain?...
My What Big Feet You Have
Not you, Mrs. Phillips....
The chicks are growing so quickly!
Number Challenge
These resilient chaps are making long number lines. What number will they get up to?
Rain Hats for Ginger Bear
In view of the rainy weather, Ginger Bear told Mrs. Pillinger that he would
like a rain hat. Willow class tested some materials and, as we predicted, the cellophane was water proof.
We had to measure Ginger Bear's head to make the hats fit.
Dig for Neston.
Some gentle weeding during our Golden Time.
Chick News
The chicks are getting bigger by the minute. Yellow chick weighs 70 marbles today. That is more than 3 times more than he or she weighed 2 weeks ago!
They will be off on their holidays with Frankie today. How big will they be when we come back to school?
Will the children have grown as much as the chicks?
Congratulations Mrs. New
In 3 hours, Ms. Tanner will become Mrs. New.
Willow Class helped with the celebrations yesterday by raising a toast and eating cake and strawberries.
Cheers!
We held our own wedding and took photos for Ms. Tanner's card...
Important message from the Ministry of Chestnut
We loved looking at the propaganda posters from World War 2 and have had a lot of discussion about the huge role women played in the British efforts.
