We embellished CD’s with jewels and glitter then hung them in the sensory garden. They spun in the wind and sparkled in the sunshine. They made lovely garden ornaments.

We quickly learnt that a single strand of spaghetti is very weak and breaks easily. However, if you place them closely packed together they form a strong bond. They are stronger bundled together horizontally rather than vertically.

Bonfire week!
Hello everyone!
It has been a very busy week in the stars class! We tided the planter and made some garden spinners, which we then hung in the garden. The pupils really liked hanging up the garden spinners they made. We did learned about some road safety and some hand gestures to remember how to cross the road safely. We did some fireworks in a jar, using food colouring, water and oil. The pupils learned about hot and cold items/food in science and did really well with this.
We enjoyed making some chocolate sparklers in class. We used bread sticks, sprinkles and chocolate and they tasted delicious! The pupils enjoyed picking pictures for the global goal poster and even added some glitter to it. The class then cut the pictures out and glued them onto A3 paper to make it really stand out.
Later on in the week, the pupils made a firework poster using crayons, black paint and whit card. We used a plastic knife to scrap away some black paint to make the crayon colours come through and they were very colourful!
Hope you have a safe and enjoyable bonfire night and a great weekend! See you all on Monday!

Together we followed instructions to build origami paper boats. We filled a tray with water to test if they could float. Thankfully they did.

We used a spray for rain, fan and ribbons for wind and a torch for sunshine to discuss the weather. Afterwards we chose our favourite type of weather using symbols. There was no real preference for any type of weather among the class.

We were busy doing Diwali activities today. We watched a powerpoint to tell us all about the ‘Festival of Light’ then afterwards made salt dough and used this to create diva lamps. They have yet to be dried and painted but they’re looking good already. We watched Diwali videos and made colourful Rangoli pattern window decorations which looked wonderful with the sun shining through them.

As part of our theme, ‘Cloudy with a chance of meatballs’, we explored different types of clouds, created cloud pictures and did the science experiment, ‘Rain cloud in a jar’. We also enjoyed dancing an umbrella dance.

We had good fun guessing which objects would move in the wind. We used a hand fan and a hairdrier to create wind. The leaves and paper were so light they blew everywhere!

We have enjoyed many Harvest activities this week. We collected groceries for the Food Bank, enjoyed a Harvest Assembly with Rev. Cameron, ground wheat to show how flour is made and baked bread. At art we created scarecrows, harvest wreaths and printed apple patterns. We played the glockenspiel, following patterns, to play autumn songs. We also make tasty apple punch.
