We enjoyed taking part in Science week. We had lots of fun doing experiments and creating our own parachutes.
We had a busy month in 2nd class. We enjoyed lots of different art lessons including – making clay houses, Halloween silhouette painting and recreating the Northern Lights using chalk. During October we also had maths week where the we participated in a maths quiz and completed a maths trail around the school. We had a fantastic last day all dressed up in our spooky Halloween costumes.
September in Ms. Hayes’ class – In Art we created self portraits where we included some of our favourite things. We also designed polaroid cameras and added four of our favourite memories. In science we enjoyed going around the school and discovering different minibeasts.
We were delighted to welcome the children back to school after the summer holidays and they have settled in wonderfully. The children enjoyed exploring the school grounds on a minibeast hunt. We have also been busy making clay houses.
Ms Hayes class learned all about mini beasts. We used pooters to examine mini beasts in the school yard. We recorded our observations in our science books.
