The Bluebells class enjoyed a science lesson where they had to identify is objects would blow in the wind. We used a fan as our wind machine and they really enjoyed watching a range of objects fly across the room.

The Bluebells class have enjoyed looking closely at weather as part of our ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ theme. We enjoyed performing a dance using umbrellas as a prop. We danced to Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain” and loved doing this.

The Bluebells class enjoyed this week’s sensory assembly all around the theme of Diwali. We created tealight candle holders, explored chapatti dough and made rangoli patterns with dough, lentils and seeds.

The Bluebells class learned about where strawberries come from. We looked at where they grow on the map and how they start from a strawberry plant and turn into a juicy red strawberry.

The Bluebells class brainstormed ideas for 3 eco pledges which we are going to take forward this year.
We used google and the SMARTboard to help us make our choices.
We pledge to….
* Use our canvas bag instead of plastic carrier bags
* Switch the lights off in rooms when they are not in use
* Turn taps off when they are not needed

The Bluebells class enjoyed designing their very own canvas bag. This is to use when we are on outings or on visits to the supermarket so that we do not need to use plastic bags.
We designed the bag using our handprints.

The Bluebells class were very brave when trying a range of themed foods today. We tried a range of foods that were in our theme film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. We tried watermelon, pretzels, chicken nuggets, hamburger, ice cream and even sardines!
All pupils tolerated tasting these foods or giving them a kiss.
