Marvellous Maps!

We've made a really good start to our geography unit looking at maps. We created some amazing 3D maps of Andoversford and we've also been learning about compass points. We used this game to practise - here is the link if you want to play at home!

Fantastic Firework Salads!

This week in Oak Class we learnt about the 'Bridge' and 'Claw' methods for slicing food with a knife. We used our new skills to create a delicious and healthy Firework Salad! The children had some great discussions about how to ensure our workspaces were safe and hygienic including washing our hands, cleaning our tables and being patient with others. I am sure you will agree that they should be very proud of their creations.

Marvellous Home Learning...

Every Friday in Oak Class, we share tasks we have completed from our Homework Menu during our 'Show and Tell' session. These are some of the wonderful pieces that have been shared so far. It is a pleasure to hear the children explaining their creations to their peers and celebrating their efforts with each other.

Creating our own rain gauges!

We have been enjoying our exploration of the different Seasons, finding out more about the different types of weather patterns we might see. Today, we read the story of the Korean Crown Prince Munjong who was supposedly the first to measure rain using a standardized container. Following this, we created our own rain gauges using a recycled bottle. Now we will keep our eyes on the weather forecast to see how much rain we might collect!
