The Sunflowers have all took part in digital learning week by using our SMARTboard to engage in interactive games and enjoy songs.  Each child took part in literacy or numeracy games during their hard work time and enjoyed combining sounds, visuals and songs to enhance learning.  Everyone also loved playing on our glow pad and used it to practice writing and drawing. We love all the changing colours!

During numeracy time, the Sunflower’s have been learning to identify differences in our dinosaurs. Each child helped put the dinosaurs on each side of a set of scales to identify which was heavy and light. We also looked at ordering dinosaurs from smallest to tallest. Some pupils were also able to chose the smallest, tallest, heaviest and lightest dinosaur when questioned.

As part of our dinosaur literacy work, the Sunflowers have been working on matching dinosaurs to their correct initial sounds. Each child helped match the dinosaurs to the letter and some pupils managed to match the dinosaur types with their correct names.

Today in the garden, our class enjoyed planting Sunflower’s. Each child helped bury the seeds in soil and water them. We are looking forward to watching them grow and adding them to the flower bed alongside the other classes flowers.

The Sunflowers have had a lovely first week back and have settled in well. Today we loved celebrating Earth Day. Everyone loved our morning walk in the sunshine and we completed a nature hunt along the way, finding butterflies, lots of different flowers, trees and leaves.  Afterwards, we returned to school to complete our own Earth pictures and fine motor skills task. In the afternoon, we made use of our lovely garden by playing in the sunshine.
