Hello there! This is our last blog before we finish school for our Easter holidays. We’re really hoping that we have nice weather to roll our Easter eggs, as at the moment it is very cold and still snowing!

We have been practising all our sounds and tricky words and also trying to write sentences about the things we did at the weekend.

We have been learning about graphs this week. We have been gathering different information and learning how to record our findings onto a graph.

We made a graph of the different things we had been measuring in the classroom and we recorded how tall/long they were. We also counted some items inside our classroom, e.g., clocks, doors, lights, radiators and recorded the number onto a graph. We were then able to compare the results and see if there were more lights than clocks or more doors than radiators etc.

                   

Today we went into our playground and counted the different kinds of traffic that passed our school. We then gathered all our information and recorded our findings on a bar graph. 

  

To continue with our topic we began to look at lifecycles. We started by looking at the life cycle of a butterfly. Mrs Sands, our school secretary, lives on a farm and she came to our class to talk to us about life on the farm and tell us about the jobs she and her husband Tom have to do, especially at lambing time.  As Mrs Sands also has hens on her farm we also looked at the life cycle of a chick. We made our own chicks using card and pipe cleaners. Do you think they will lay any eggs for our breakfast?

  

As you know we have been visiting the ladies at the local servite home. To return the favour, we invited the ladies to spend the afternoon at our school and to see all the things that we have been doing and to share our learning with them. We had a lovely afternoon and all the ladies really enjoyed looking around our classrooms. We ended our afternoon with a well deserved cup of tea, drink of juice and a biscuit.

  

  

To celebrate Easter at the end of this week, we painted eggs. We used brightly coloured pearlescent paint and tried very hard to make them colourful. Some of us rolled our eggs in our playground and some us took our eggs home to roll them with our families on Easter Sunday.

    

Happy Easter Everyone!
