 Cold Places 

We were excited to explore the ice in our our classroom. We enjoyed uses our senses to look, touch and smell, we were able to describe how it felt.

We noticed that the ice had started to melt when in our classroom, we realised that the temperature was much warmer inside than out and, that was why it had started to melt. 

We experimented what painting with ice would be like.      

Two winter gonks arrived in our classroom, they have visited some wonderful parts of the world that are always cold! They wanted to help us learn about the North Pole and the animals that live there. We looked on a globe to find where these places are.

Courage

Our value this half term is 'Courage' 

We read the book 'Be Brave Little Penguin' to help us think about what having courage means and thought about the times we have showed courage.

We have been trying hard to have courage and give everything a go, this song helped to remind us to keep on persevering!

You can listen to the story here. 

We have also been learning a song about courage. 

We shared a time when we have been brave and showed courage. 

 Design and Build

We have been working hard to develop our block plat skills. Thinking about designing our creations first, just like an architect.

RE- Which Places are Special and Why?

This half term, we have been thinking about which places are special and why. We have shared our own special places and found out about special places of worship. 

Big Garden Birdwatch

This half term we have been getting involved in the Big Garden Birdwatch 2025. We have learnt lots of new facts about birds and created some wonderful observational drawings. We took on the role of bird watchers and counted how many different kinds of bird we spotted. We have welcomed Joel, our school gardener to help us with our learning and especially enjoyed making bird feeders.
