Week 2 - In Science we experimented with waterproof materials, made predictions and tested the results. We used different materials - tin foil, plastic bag, paper and fabric - to see which would be waterproof and keep the teddies dry! We then drew and labelled a house for our teddy with the most appropriate, waterproof material. In PE we enjoyed practicing our balancing skills. In DT this week we made a curvy slider mechanism with a movable pirate ship.
Week 1 - This week in Design and Technology the children really enjoyed making their own pop up pirate using a slider mechanism. In PE we have been focusing on fitness through athletics and they especially loved the running races! In Maths we have been learning how to describe different positions - to the left or to the right, and different turns - quarter, half, three quarter and full turn. Today the children worked in pairs to give instructions using this positional language. In Science we have been learning about how wind would effect different materials just like the story The Three Little Pigs. Today we made houses out of straw, paper and bricks, made predictions and tested the theories by putting a fan on our creations. It was lots of fun! On Friday we had our first forest school and we loved it but didn't get as much time there as we wanted due to the downpour of rain! What a busy week we've had!!
