What an interesting afternoon we had checking out our pressed flowers on a light box. We talked lots about what had happened to the flowers as they were pressed over the last two weeks and had great conversations about the petals and leaves becoming more translucent and fascinating to look at too.

The strange weather this afternoon meant we spent some time indoors making fabulous hi tech clip board flower presses (HTCBFP for short!) which we will use for outdoor learning in the future. We did manage to get outonce the torrential rain stopped to collect some pieces of nature to press. We will have a look at them once we are back to school after the October break.
We worked in teams using rainbow sticks today to revise place value and do a bit of problem solving at the same time by making the largest and smallest numbers we could as well as working out how many different numbers we could make with a given number of sticks.
After that we investigated 2D shapes by making them out of different materials and discussing their properties.
