We planted wild flower, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. We will keep them well watered so hopefully they will grow in to strong plants.

French toast was on the menu this week at cooking. We worked hard to follow the recipe and to stay safe in the kitchen. We were all successful learners and enjoyed eating it afterwards.
Hard at work for the Oak Class!
In preparation for our outdoor cafe with our friends from the Beech class we all chose which role we would have at the cafe. The roles to choose from were front of house, waiter/waitress, chef, dishwasher and housekeeping. Everyone worked well together as an effective contributor.
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens undertaking a training walk for their DofE Expedition section. The task was to do a timed walk to the Palace Theatre. Those that already hold a Bronze award helped those that were doing it for the first time. Some lovely weather helped us out. 17 minutes on the way there, 20 minutes to return (there must be more uphill on the way back!)

Earth Day Activities in Stars Class
*Responsible Citizens
We have done a few activities throughout the week to signify Earth Day. We discussed ways to save energy and recycling followed by a trip to the park where we did a nature scavenger hunt. We planted seeds and built a den in class. Inside the den we read a book by torchlight to show how difficult it would be to do things if we were short of electricity. We also made a microwave sponge which uses less energy to cook than in a conventional oven.

Earth Day with the Asteroids
We were successful learners finding out more about Earth Day this morning. We paid attention to the board when we watched our information film and then some of us could answer questions about Earth Day.
As our way to help the earth, we planted sunflowers and seedlings to transfer to the school garden next week. We all enjoyed the feeling of the soil running through our fingers and looking at the plants’ roots.
Later, we were responsible citizens and took our recyclable items from the classroom and sorted them at the school recycling container.
We all enjoyed listening and joining in with some Earth Day songs too.
The Transition class had a lovely time at the petting zoo when it visited us for an Easter treat. The class were Responsible Citizens handling the animals very carefully and using quiet voices. The class liked all the animals but I think the duck was a favourite.

Stars Easter Activities
*Successful Learners        *Responsible Citizens                    *Confident Individuals       *Effective Contributors
We did some lovely Easter themed activities this week. We created an Easter card, had a shapes treasure hunt and handled lots of different animals at the ‘Petting Zoo’. We had good fun following clues to find the Easter bunny and were rewarded by a chocolate egg from him. At science we did a ‘Humpty Dumpty’ experiment where we explored different ways to save an egg from breaking when dropped from a height. This was good fun. We joined other classes from the upper primary for an outdoor disco where we played games as well as danced. A good week has been had by all.

Easter fun
Yesterday we had lots of fun when the animals came to visit. We were confident individuals and sat well petting the animals. They loved watching at the animals explored their pen. They also watched as the animals ate their food.
Â
Today we followed picture clues around the garden and playground and looked for eggs. We found 5 eggs and put them in our baskets. At the last clue we found the Easter bunny and he gave us a chocolate egg.
The Transition were Responsible Citizens and the class took part in a few Red Nose Day activities. They were challenged from another class to try and get a biscuit from their forehead to their mouth without using their hands. A lot of chocolate got on faces! We also did some painting with a hammer! We designed a face to add a red nose to. Lots of red paint was put in the nose area which was covered before being splatted with a hammer! Just as well we had our protective suits on!
