As it was POLO ( Power off Learn Outdoors) day in school, we took part in many Outdoor Learning Activities.
We placed different objects in the water tray to see if they would float or sink!
We had fun drawing shapes and writing names with chalk! 
We worked together to build some dens, walls and towers!

The Planets class thoroughly enjoyed today’s POLO Day (Power Off, Learn Outdoors). We had a teddy bear’s picnic and enjoyed tasting a range of picnic foods including dairylea lunchables, cocktail sausages, sausage rolls, finger rolls, frube yoghurts, cheese and grapes.
We also enjoyed a sensory art attack session where we spray painted an old bed sheet. We loved doing this and had lots of fun!
We had fun this week practising our cutting and spreading skills when we made funky sandwiches! We each chose our toppings and fillings then chose a shape to cut our sandwich in to. We then went outside to enjoy a picnic in the sunshine!

The Planets class enjoyed creating our very own seasides in bottles. We explored sand, shells and pebbles and chose our favourites to put inside our bottles. We found them very effective and are very keen to take them home.

The Planets class enjoyed creating jellyfish suncatchers. We used coloured tissue paper and clear seal to decorate the inside of our jellyfish. They are very effective on our window!

The Planets class really enjoyed creating our very own flip flops. We braved putting paint on our feet to make footprints. We all really enjoyed doing this and found it tickly!
