This week we have had fun celebrating Book Week. The boys and girls chose their favourite books from class and shared it with some of their friends in class. It was lovely to hear about so many different books and even gave us some great ideas of books we’d like to read next!

We read the book Rocket mole and had a go at a STEM challenge to make our own catapults out of spoons and elastic bands to send Armstrong the mole (a pebble) into space!

After reading Stick man, the girls and boys made up their own stick stories during our woodland time. There was lots of creativity to be seen with our sticks going on lots of different adventures!

We really enjoyed trying out some Halloween activities this week. As part of our human body context we made some skeletons using cotton buds, while considering the different bones we have in our bodies.

Volume

As well as working on our number bonds, we have started to learn about volume in maths. So far we have been estimating which containers would hold the most/ least water and testing our predictions out. We had fun in our outdoor area making potions with some spooky ingredients!

Here we are figuring out which containers hold the most/ least amount of water.
