What a busy week we have had with Miss Jackson and Mrs Norman!

We planted cress seeds and we are responsible for making sure they get lots of water, sun light and space!

In the woodland we went on a hunt to some plants and some good areas to grow our own plants!

We have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk this week and in the woodland we were thinking about activities we could do linked to things like giant footsteps!

We found a worm!

This could be the beanstalk from our story!

We introduced leaflet making in our writing area.  

On Thursday Mrs Norman found Jack and the Beanstalk challenge cards in her bag! We had so much fun trying to find solutions.

We made a garden for the man who gave Jack the magic beans. ]

We were measuring the garden in giant foorsteps and regular footsteps.

We made a giants castle. We were working out what would happen if there were more or less magic beans. We made a map of Jack’s home town.

We made a daily agenda for the giant.

In the afternoon we planted runner beans in bags in our classroom so we could watch them grow.

 

What a busy week we have had!! Have a great weekend!

This week we have been learning about Eid and that led us to asking lots of questions about all the cultures that are represented in our school.

We built mosques and other religious buildings.

We created henna patterns.

We learned some Bollywood dancing and then we were inspired to learn about dances from other cultures and countries.

In our class we have links to Malaysia, Latvia, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, England, South Africa, Pakistan, Northern Ireland, Spain, Greece, Australia, Thailand, China, America, Canada and Scotland! 

We enjoyed the Greek dancing the most!

On Thursday afternoon we made chocolate covered dates! Most of us enjoyed eating them.

Some of the class used our fabrics to create prayer mats. We had some excellent helpers teaching us how to do it.

On Friday morning we got the chance to get some henna on!

We have had a great week!
