This week we have been looking at why boats float. We made our own tinfoil boats and seen if they floated and then we added little teddy bears and coins to see how many it would take to sink each boats. We did some literacy and numeracy games and tasks this week and enjoyed some challenging work and working with others.

We planted wild flower, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. We will keep them well watered so hopefully they will grow in to strong plants.

Like paleontologists we dug in the sand to find dinosaurs which we dusted down with brushes. We counted what we’d collected and matched with the written number.
The Asteroids enjoyed a trip to the garden on Tuesday. It was a lovely day to enjoy bird watching.
We had a list of birds to look for and we talked about whether the birds were big or small and what colours their feathers were. We used binoculars to help us spot birds that were far away.
We weren’t able to spot all the birds on our list but we did see a Blue tit, Magpie and a Sparrow.
Good spotting, Asteroids!
French toast was on the menu this week at cooking. We worked hard to follow the recipe and to stay safe in the kitchen. We were all successful learners and enjoyed eating it afterwards.
Hard at work for the Oak Class!
In preparation for our outdoor cafe with our friends from the Beech class we all chose which role we would have at the cafe. The roles to choose from were front of house, waiter/waitress, chef, dishwasher and housekeeping. Everyone worked well together as an effective contributor.
