We’ve had a busy week of learning in the Sungazers. We explored the change of state from ice and water through our Ice Ages topic by experimenting with the different ways to melt the ice. We found that using the hairdryer and our body heat was the quickest.

As part of our Enterprise FAOL, we planted individual Sunflowers for a whole school project and planted the rest in our flowerbed in the sensory garden. We look forward to watching them grow!

We also completed a lot of Literacy activities, focusing on communication and fine motor skills. Lots of great interactions between pupils.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

To celebrate Earth Day, we had a ‘no technology’ morning and enjoyed story time in a big class den. We then went on a Nature Hunt during our local walk this afternoon. Some of our pupils also took responsibility for recycling at the end of the week. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

The Sungazers have settled back in to school routine really well this week. We’ve tried to enjoy as much time as possible in the nice weather by taking our learning outdoors. We had fun drawing and practicing letter formations using chalk in the playground.

The Sungazers have had a fun filled week of Easter activities and fun! We had a Treasure Hunt with a visit from the Easter Bunny & friends, Easter baking, Egg smashing & rolling them down the hill, and an Easter garden party. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

The Sungazers had a brilliant time with the animals this morning. The Bunnies were very popular amongst the class! Although some felt a little hesitant at first, by the end we had all petted an animal of our choice and left with huge smiles!

Since we have been enjoying this lovely weather all week, the Sungazers decided to have some water play fun outside. We filled and emptied various volumes of water from one cylinder to another and watched them overflow……some ended up going over board but this just made for more fun as we were making little splashes and then creating footprints on the ground. A fun filled Friday!

As part of our new topic ‘The Ice Ages’ we have been looking at different animals that are now extinct. We worked in pairs to research four different animals and then presented the information back to our peers. This was also a good way to practice our listening and talking skills in a group.

We then had some sensory fun to create a piece of art work with coloured ice cubes.

Over Fair Trade Fortnight, we have been learning about Fair trade and what it means for us. We are now able to recognise the Fair Trade logo so can have a look for it when we visit the supermarket! We used Fair Trade lemons and sugar to make our own lemonade.
