Ramadan and Eid Celebrations, Space and Exploring Eggs!

Welcome back to our blog! Have you watched our assembly about Ramadan and Eid? If not, you are able to watch it by clinking the link on our Google Classroom stream!

During the last few weeks, everyone has loved learning about Ramadan and Eid. We have explored what Ramadan is about, fasting, traditional clothing and foods. We have also learnt about Eid!

We have began our Space topic! We are enjoying exploring our questions that we wish to answer throughout our topic.

We have learnt about all of the planets in the solar system: their sizes, their temperature and how long it takes for them to orbit.

We have been finding information independently in non-fiction books! We use the contents page to help us locate information.

Using our imagination, we have created a fact file about our own planet! We had to organise information correctly to describe our planet using tricky words.

Then, we created our own Alien that lived on our imaginative planet!

In the role-play, we worked together to create a control panel for our spaceship!

We love sensory play! We used shaving foam to explore, discuss and form Space vocabulary such as nebula, asteroids and rocket.

Eggs! You might be thinking, why eggs? It sparked great conversation and questions! We have been exploring foods from around the world and animals. We were exploring the difference between caged eggs and free range eggs.

After, we participated in a science experiment to determine whether an egg was fresh or not.

We also learnt the difference between the egg white and yolk and practised cracking and separating an egg.

We observed what happened to the egg yolk once we whisked it. We were surprised that the egg yolk turned from a liquid to a foamy hard mixture! Maybe next time we will make meringues using the egg whites!

Wow! What a busy week it has been! See you soon on our next blog!

Have a great weekend everyone!xx
