As part of our theme work on dinosaurs we have been exploring stories about dinosaurs. We have been matching pictures and words from the book and some have been able to read some of the words in the story.

The Daisies class enjoyed exploring a dinosaur themed tuff tray. We were practising making sand volcanoes and enjoying imaginative play with small dinosaur figures.

The Daisies Class enjoyed participating in a problem solving task where they had to try and melt the frozen dinosaur eggs. They chose to use hot water and salt and managed to get all of their frozen eggs to melt. We loved meeting our little baby dinosaurs!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Daisies class enjoyed exploring the role of the palaeontologist today. We took turns digging in sand for dinosaurs.
We also took turns attempting to make a sand volcano using a cup and a spoon. We were all very good at this!

IDL – How Toys Move
Successful Learners Confident Individuals
During our Toy theme, the Snowdrops have enjoyed exploring how toys move. Everyone focussed their attention as we watched as toys that were still began to move. The Snowdrops were confident that they could make toys move, too. Everyone participated actively in trying things out! We had great fun rolling marbles in paint to make patterns, rolling balls to knock cups down, pushing bricks together and pulling them apart, pushing cars forward and back, pulling toys with strings and pushing and pulling various buttons and levers. Lots of moving toys! Some Snowdrops even had a go at making a skateboard move! Well done, Snowdrops!

The Good Dinosaur Crafts
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
Over the last few weeks, the Daisies Class have loved completing “The Good Dinosaur” crafts. We enjoyed making an Arlo themed wall in the corridor to show off our best art work.
We also changed our names into dinosaur names and they are displayed on our class door.
Finally, we created Tyrannosaurus Rex crafts using our footprints. We loved doing this!
Effective Contributors
As part of our Toy theme, the Snowdrops brought in their favourite toys from home to show their friends. Everyone participated actively in displaying their chosen toys and the Snowdrops showed lots of interest in the toys that others had brought in. The Snowdrops then enjoyed a bit of play with their toys!
