The Comets class have been successful learners and confident individuals when planting, growing and eating different vegetables. The children were responsible for looking after our carrots, radishes and spring onions by making sure they had lots of sunlight and water.  In addition to this, we kept track of the growth our vegetables by using a ruler. When our vegetables were ready, we prepared them by making sure they were clean. The children  have been developing their skills around chopping and  applied these skills to this task.

We were all very brave and tried all of the vegetables.

The Comets were effective contributors when working as a team to construct a castle. They were successful learners when identifying all of the different parts of the castle.

We used our fine motor skills to cut out the Battlements very carefully and then mixed the colours together to get grey. The Comets worked great as a team when sticking the castle together and making it stand tall.

In the Comets class  we have been exploring the world of work and the different jobs that people have. We all were confident individuals when selecting our favourite jobs.

Each child made a poster about a different job, We were successful learners when doing their own research. The Comets participated in discussions around the skills needed for each job.

The children all enjoyed our walk to the Wishing Tree. We took some ribbon with us to tie on the tree and we all made a wish!

This week on our journey through The Enchanted Forest we came across the tale of Sleeping Beauty. The children loved listening to the story and afterwards designed a bed that would be fit for Sleeping Beauty.

Sleeping Beauty had to sleep for 100 years- our challenge was to design a bed that would be comfortable for the Princess.

First, we looked through a selection of different materials and decided which ones we thought would be suitable for the bed. The children were able to identify and select materials that were soft, fluffy and warm. We trimmed our materials to size and made sure they fit our beds.  We recognised that a rectangle would be the best shape for our blankets, mattress and pillow. After much deliberation over our materials, we then came up with a plan to construct our beds.

The Princess had a prior engagement and was not available for the bed test. Our classroom crocodile was happy to help us out!
