The Planets class made some fruit smoothies today. As part of our ILP targets, we were preparing a range of fruit by removing the skin and chopping them into small pieces. We had bananas, apples, strawberries and raspberries. We used orange juice and yogurt in the blender and were very pleased with our results. We also were all brave enough to give our smoothies a little try!

The Planets Class enjoyed working together to create salt dough magic lamps. We split into two teams to carry out this task and really enjoyed forming the dough into lamp shapes.
We painted and decorated our magic lamps to look similar to the lamp in the film ‘Aladdin’.
Finally, we enjoyed using baking soda and vinegar to create a magical eruption from our lamps!

The Planets class enjoyed some digital learning opportunities this week. We read an interactive e-book called ‘Jake’s First Day’ which related to pirates and treasure maps. We looked at a treasure map and drew different routes to get the pirate to the treasure.
We also used our fine motor skills to colour in tigers and draw our own stripes. We loved doing this!

The Planets class enjoyed looking closely at treasure items. We sorted them into colours and shapes using tweezers. We also enjoyed looking closely at some of them using magnifying glasses.
We learned some of their names including rubies, emeralds and sapphires and played a “can you find….?” game.
Finally, we researched our birthstones.
