After our recent Earth Day celebrations, the Daisies class have continued to work hard at completing eco jobs around the classroom.
We have been turning lights off when we aren’t needing them, turning the SMARTboard off before going outdoors, turning the tap off to stop wasting water and recycling our snack rubbish throughout the day.

Over the last few weeks, the Daisies Class have loved completing “The Good Dinosaur” crafts. We enjoyed making an Arlo themed wall in the corridor to show off our best art work.
We also changed our names into dinosaur names and they are displayed on our class door.
Finally, we created Tyrannosaurus Rex crafts using our footprints. We loved doing this!

We experienced making marks and pictures on the ground using chalk. On a dry day we will draw round a class friend lying on the ground.
We made chocolate nests and eggs to create a dinosaur jungle. They were a tasty treat at snack time.

The Snowdrops enjoyed some time outdoors during the recent warm, dry weather! We took along some chalk and had lots of fun making pictures on the ground. Everyone participated actively in drawing round a shape and filling it in with chalk. We made our shapes look like lovely suns to match the good weather!

As part of our Toy theme, the Snowdrops brought in their favourite toys from home to show their friends. Everyone participated actively in displaying their chosen toys and the Snowdrops showed lots of interest in the toys that others had brought in. The Snowdrops then enjoyed a bit of play with their toys!

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.
Transition have been investigating the use of fluid and solid lines.
There are seven types of lines used in art, thick, thin, horizontal, vertical, zigzag, diagonal, curly, curved and spiral.
Successful learners! Well done everyone.
The Transition class worked collaboratively on some tessellation art, inspired by M. C. Escher.
