Printing with fruit and vegetables
Our theme is the Hungry Caterpillar. We were able to identify some fruits and vegetables and use these to complete some art work. We cut up the fruit and vegetables and dipped them in paint and made printing patterns on the paper. We investigated the print in made. Some worked better than others. We really liked the pear shape it made. We used carrots, potatoes, apples and pears.

Theme: Edible Paint and Shopping
*Successful Learners* *Responsible Citizens*
The Moonbeams have worked hard this week during their Food and Technology theme lessons. We made edible paint by mixing sugar, water and food colourings. The children then decorated slices of bread with a variety of paint colours. Take a look at our beautiful designs.
We went to Tesco for our outing this week. The children choose a snack and drink in the Café and then went shopping with our pictorial shopping list. They used their counting skills to count the items and count the pound coins as we were paying. We had a very successful day out and the children all behaved very responsibly.

FAOL – OUTDOOR LEARNING
Yesterday we explore our school garden and collected. We then used the leaves we collected to create either a hedgehog or an owl. We used glue and stuck them on our picture. We were looking at the many different colours of leaves in the garden when we were collected them trying to get lots of different colours.

Lickable Wallpaper
As part of our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme we made ‘lickable wallpaper’ just like in Willy Wonka’s factory. We used ‘Fruit Winders’ to make patterned wallpaper which we were able to lick. It tasted of strawberries and apples.

FAOL Sciences
The Stars class made ice cream by shaking a zipped bag of milk, sugar and cocoa powder within a zipped bag of ice and salt. We were amazed how quickly ice cream formed. It tasted delicious.
